Romantic proposal surrounded by sloths

This guy got down on one knee at the Promised Land Zoo in Branson, Missouri, completely surrounded by sloths.

The video shows Michael asking Ashley if she'll marry him while she holds one of the animals on her lap and others swings overhead.

"Are you serious?" Ashley asked incredulously as the sloth she is holding slowly moves.

Of course the answer is a resounding yes!

As Michael goes to seal the deal with a ring, a cheeky sloth overhead tries to steal his hat - really lightening the mood...

"I wanted something unique that she would never forget and this was the perfect setting," he continued.

Michael isn't the first person who thought that sloths would make a romantic proposal...
