A man proposed to his girlfriend by faking her kidnapping in a TikTok video that's divided viewers.

The surprising moment Adam Rizk proposed to Vanessa Moujalli in Lebanon was captured by his sister, Tahlia, this month. Tahlia uploaded a video to her TikTok account, which has more than 372,400 views, and sparked a discussion in the comment section.

The video, captioned "the most controversial proposal ever," begins with the bride-to-be drinking coffee and traveling with others in a car. Next, men holding fake guns approach the vehicle and attempt to remove the group from the car, according to the video. Moujalli appears to try to argue with the pretend kidnappers, telling one woman from her group that she refused to go with the group of men.

"I'm not going with them — I told them I'll give them whatever they want," Moujalli said.

Moujalli is then blindfolded and placed in the backseat of a different vehicle heading to a new location. Upon arrival she's escorted outside and — when the blindfold is removed — recognizes her boyfriend waiting with a bouquet of flowers and a ring.

Moujalli appeared shocked as she accepts Rizk's proposal while a live band began to play nearby. In the comment section, TikTok users were mostly perplexed by the proposal.

"Nope. Single for the rest of my life," one person wrote.

Others praised the proposal for being "different."

In an interview with Daily Mail Australia, Tahlia said Moujalli was "genuinely happy" with the engagement.

"[Adam] always joked that he wanted to propose in a way to scare her and my family joined in and made it possible when she was visiting family in Lebanon," Tahlia told the outlet. "They always play pranks on each other so it's just their relationship ... the overall planning took three months."

On Facebook, Moujalli uploaded pictures from the proposal and called the scenario a "dream come true." Insider has reached out to Tahlia for comment.

This latest video joins other viral wedding proposals this year, including in February when one couple's beach proposal went awry because the boyfriend lost the ring in the sand. In March, a man rented a movie theatre and recreated "Everything Everywhere All At Once" to propose to his girlfriend.
