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

OMG dive down there and go find it!! lol BUT STILL omg that sucks and btw about your phone if you drop it in water don't turn it on immediately take the battery and sim out and leave them to dry for 3 days and it should work when you reassemble them.

Gaaah that sucks Kind of ruined the plan, didn't she? :( Should've proposed anyway and told her where the ring went. Doesn't really matter as long as you love her, and it's not your fault the ring got dropped. Could just get divers to retrieve it and give it to her when they get it back.

Damn that sux! She didn't mean it tho, and you can still ask her to marry you. Maybe you can dive back in and find the ring?

She probably had no idea that he had his cell phone on him, since under normal circumstances it'd be kinda retarded to take your cell phone on a boat. However, OP probably brought it along should his girlfriend say "yes" and immediately want to inform her friends and family. So I don't think it's anyone's fault... just a victim of circumstance.

Ok, sometimes I put YDI even when it's not applicable, but I couldn't bear myself to do it this time. Seriously, FYL. *By the way, no need for angry comments towards me for two reasons: 1. No, I am not the troll who always puts YDI even when it's a legitimate "FML." But I guess to some pedantic people it requires a flamewar. 2. I won't be present in the flamewar as I don't return to "FML" comments like some no-lives do.
