Michael Joseph’s proposal didn’t go as well as he had planned after he hid an engagement ring in his girlfriend’s crispy chicken sandwich from McDonald’s.

As a hidden camera reveals, Ann was not thrilled that he decided to pop the question in the car as they were going through the fast food joint’s drive-thru.

"You're not serious," said, shrieking into her hands. It’s not clear if she’s crying or laughing.

"You can't ask me to marry you in a chicken sandwich,” she told him, Today.com reports. "I thought it was a surprise,” he replied.

In the comments section of the viral YouTube video, Joseph, 30, explained his proposal wasn’t as far-fetched as viewers might think. The West Hollywood location holds fond memories for the couple, where they shared their first date.

“She joked for months about how 10 years down the line I would probably propose to her in a chicken nugget box so I thought she would love when I surprised her this way,” he wrote.

Ann, 23, tells him at the end of the video. “I can’t marry you. You just asked me on a bun.”

“She didn't love it like the way I thought she would. We agreed to wait longer until it's time to get engaged,” he wrote in the comments.
