Ladies, if your date to a wedding does this, maybe it's not the best time to have the "where is this going?" talk. Table that discussion until he's not physically throwing himself in front of you to avoid a cheesy wedding tradition that symbolizes essentially nothing.

Daniel Bickerdike from London was attending a wedding in Cape Town, South Africa with his girlfriend of five-years, Angie Schultz, which sounds like a really magical date, right? A gorgeous wedding in Cape Town? Forget about it. But when it came time for the wedding bouquet toss, ol' Danny boy's survival instincts must have kicked in because he dives in front of that flowery beacon of commitment that's coming at his girlfriend like a Secret Service agent dives in front of a bullet coming at the President.

Daniel tells The Daily Mail that the dramatic reaction was just a joke and that though in the video Angie looks like she's going to rip his throat out and use it as a wedding veil, the couple laughed about it later.

Right. Angie was definitely laughing…on the outside. On the inside she was plotting your demise. Unless you put a ring on it, Daniel. Better hop to it!
