Today, I proposed to my girlfriend with the cliché of the diamond ring in a champagne glass. Apparently there was an off-duty police officer across the room watching me slip the ring into the glass. He thought I was slipping in a date-rape drug and tackled me down before I could propose. FML

Putting a ring in food/drink is a stupid idea in the first place, there's this think called "choking". (:

Wow way to go Officer Jump the Gun. You could have always tackled him on the way out after you were sure you knew what was going on... No, I do not know why i'm talking as if the police officer is here... :P

LAPD? I bet he wanted to hook up with your girlfriend.

if he tackled you to the ground, you coulda gotten up on one knee. it was gonna be cliche either way man :)

Well if it's true good for the police officer for being on top of things.

You know, this would also work from the cop's perspective. "Today, I tackled a guy in a fancy restaurant. Why? I'm a cop, I was off-duty, and I thought I saw him slip a pill into his date's drink. Turned out he was going to propose to her, and had put the ring in her champagne glass. FML"

Not a cliché anymore - the helpful police officer has just helped you make it a very memorable one indeed! One to tell the grandchildren about!

Look at it this way: you now have a much more interesting engagement story to tell your children and grandchildren when they ask about it.

So did you ask later ? Did she say yes or is she into cops ?

That's true #45. I'm sure if she had a sense of humor, she would have just laughed it off. And then said yes (: (hopefully she accepted?)

The cop should of not of tackled u. He should of walked up to u like a normal human being and asked than u explain. FYL.

It could have been worse. She could have not noticed the ring and choked on it. But FYL all the same
