Firefighter proposes to teacher from top of fire truck steps at her open classroom window.

Judging by the reaction of her watching class, she accepted his offer of marriage. Pupils cheer as their teacher Yana kisses her future husband Alexei who parked his fire truck outside her school and stripped off of his protective outfit to pop the question.

He carried a bouquet up the ladder with him at School Number 2 in Pokrovsk, in the Sakha Republic, also called Yakutia. There was laughter and applause from the students.

But it seems Alexei was not ready for his new found fame. He asked local officials to remove a post with his pictures. Despite this the video has gone viral on the local web.

A quick lyric made up on the spot by me.

Bringing my love up on a ladder
That should make her gladder
Going to ask the question, will you "marry me"?
& if you say "No"
Then the ladder might as well fall from under me.

But say, "Yes" & you'll make me so very "Happy".

(a year later)
Here comes the Bride, here comes the Bride
Oh my love for her...I can't hide.
And now we're man & wife
Who are going to live happy ever-after
So guys, do it like me & get yourselves a "Ladder".


Dedicated to the wonderful couple in the video.

Congratulations.
