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 went jet skiing with my girlfriend of four years. I intended to propose to her. The $2000 ring fell out of my pocket and into the lake. I have no idea where it is. FML

Today, my friend and I went boating. In the middle of the lake, we decided to jump in. We put our valuables in the boat and jumped in. When I tried to get back in the boat, it flipped over, and our cellphones, along with my car keys, are at the bottom of the lake. 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. 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 was going to propose to my girlfriend. I told her best friend the plan the day before. I got reservations to a restaurant on the beach, and we were going to arrive via boat. She never showed. Her parents called me asking why she left town to go to Paris. FML

Today, I tried to propose to my girlfriend, but when I took out the ring it flew out of the box and disappeared. She's been crying for 3 hours and I'm down 2 grand. I still don't know what her answer is. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend, only for her to slap me, throwing the "fake ring" away and storming off, convinced it was a cruel joke. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend while we were on my couch having a romantic moment. She seemed incredibly excited when she saw the ring and put it on. The way she bolted out the door tells me I'm not going to see her again. FML

You guys should go hiking, and "playfully" push her off a cliff.

Not when it's a ******* engagement ring. You're not going to tell people you're engaged and say "Here's my ring" and point to nothing on your finger. The thought can't count there. The whole point of it all when buying an engagement ring is to have a physical representation.

what ever it is the thought that counts many people don't have wedding rings. Its about the love not the piece of metal on your finger. they can get another.

Plenty of people don't have engagement rings. It's wedding rings that matter anyway.

@#59: LOL!!! "Playfully push her off a cliff." You could also "playfully trip her down a huge flight of stairs", hahaha... but seriously, good luck to you--this's the first FML I've gaped at in a while.

59, I dont think that solves the problem. If he did that then he wouldnt have a ring or a girlfriend which is one step farther than just not having a ring. One more thing, if she pushed you off after you proposed then it is probably a no.

Not only did he lose a symbol of their engagement, but lost a couple hundred dollars.Think about it.I don't think he or his girlfriend care about a thought.

That's true but if you told her she would either dive after it immediately or find a diver first thing and she would never give up on it that's for sure. Just have to figure out a way to mark the spot. But you're right a lot of people don't have rings they don't have to be expensive either.
