Ginny Joiner, from Atlanta, US, thought she was going to see "Fast Five" at the cinema with her brother while her boyfriend was at work.
However after a series of trailers, her boyfriend's feature was projected onto the giant screen instead of the expected movie.
As the opening credits began, Miss Joiner, whose reaction was filmed live, can be seen whispering to a friend, "this had better be good".
The opening scene shows two men in discussion, their faces hidden off camera.
As she slowly realises she is watching her boyfriend Matt Still asking her father for her hand in marriage she holds her hands to her face in shock.
Mr Still is then seen jumping into his car and driving to the local cinema to propose.
The trailer, titled 'Making the Movies Jealous', ends in dramatic slow-motion as Mr Still opens the screening room door, engagement ring in hand.
Switching to live video camera, the trailer's producer Michael Escobar records the moment Miss Joiner accepts and the pair are congratulated by family and friends who had been hiding among the audience.
Titled "Greatest Marriage Proposal EVER!!!", the video had been watched 2.5 million times by Thursday, only three days after it was uploaded.
