Miscellaneous: Today, I decided to propose to my girlfriend on the Charles Bridge...

Today, I decided to propose to my girlfriend on the Charles Bridge in Prague. A little boy thought it would be fun to chase a flock of pigeons towards me. I freaked out and dropped the 2 carat diamond ring. Into the river. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. When she saw the ring, she got so excited that she ran to kiss me and it flew out of my hand, over the balcony of our suite, and fell roughly 45 stories straight down. I could feel my wallet screaming as a £4000 diamond vanished into the night. FML

Today, I finally plucked up the courage to propose to my girlfriend of 7 months. I took her out to the park where we had our first kiss, I got down on one knee, and before I could say, "Will you marry me?" a bird shat on my head. FML

Today, I was going to propose to my girlfriend on my boat at the lake. As we were looking at the mountains all around us, she playfully pushed me off the side into the water. As I got back on the boat, I realized that not only was my cellphone dead, but the ring had fallen into the deep water. FML

Today, I was going to propose to my girlfriend of 3 years. I got reservations for a romantic dinner, and at the end, fireworks would spell out my proposal. The whole thing had taken weeks to plan out and had cost me a lot of money. She proposed to me at a subway station first. FML

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

Today, I was going to propose to my girlfriend. At the right moment, I got down on one knee. As I was reaching into my pocket to get the ring, she got so freaked out she kicked me in the face. I chipped a tooth and the ring flew off, and now I can't find it. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend in front of about 75 people in the fanciest restaurant in town. She told me she was already engaged, while holding up her right hand. FML

Today, my boyfriend of 3 years finally proposed to me at the park we first met in. As I was about to say yes, a huge fly flew straight into my mouth. I ruined the moment by choking on it and eventually spitting it out on him. I think he's rethinking the proposal. FML

You should have thrown that little bastard in after it.

You let pigeons scare you ... You could kill an infinite amount of pigeons if you were to fight them. Next time, go down heroically. There will be statues with your demeanor biting off pigeons their heads.

YDI. You should have gotten a thing like that insured. It only costs like 50 dollars a year to insure a 6,000$ diamond ring. You could have avoided this whole thing altogether.

That sucks almost more than any other FML I've read. Best of luck with sorting it out!

I'd marry you just because of where you proposed. Prague is my favorite city in the whole world, and the Charles Bridge is 100008478783 times more romantic than even the Eiffel Tower. Sucks that you lost the ring, but I hope she said yes!

I am sure that you do not mean 2 carat gold. They do make Two carat gold, and put a diamond on it, in fact, i am not sure if you can even purchase two carat gold. However, a two carat DIAMOND, which I am sure that is what you had meant, just people had misunderstood you, is very very not cheap what-so-ever. A two carat diamond, well, is worth quite alot, depending on the cut, clarity, and color. Also it is extremely BIG. You must really Love that girl (: that's beauty right there. Good Luck, I hope she said yes.
