A South African man’s flash mob proposal has gone viral and captured the heart of his new fiancé and the country.

Meshach Marimuthu wanted to create a lasting impression of a holiday for his girlfriend, so he used the lyrics to Marry You to woo her, according to News24.

Marimuthu said he was looking to do something “unusual and unique” for Suemaya Adam, his girlfriend of three years.

He reached out to the Phoenix Dance Company for assistance in putting together a flash mob and requested that they play Marry You by Bruno Mars.

“I like the song and thought it was perfect for the occasion,” he said.

Carina Cullen, the owner of the dance studio, said she was happy to help. Cullen said they had limited time to put it together, but called on friends to learn the routine.

“We were so stressed that we didn’t have time to rehearse with him because he didn’t want to make her suspicious and leave the hotel,” she said.
