A heartwarming video has emerged from Vietnam of a man proposing to his girlfriend by surprise while she was on a trip with her mother.

The footage, shot this summer in Hoi An, shows Alex Kennedy wearing a hat and a mask, tapping on his girlfriend's shoulder to ask her hand in marriage.

''Alex Kennedy flew half way across the world from London to Vietnam to propose to his girlfriend in disguise,'' the filmer later wrote online.

''It took a lot of organising as she was out travelling with her mum along the coast of Vietnam and he had to secretly text her mum constantly to find out where she was,'' she added.
