Today, I decided to ask my girlfriend of 3 years to marry me. I made brownies with walnuts and put an engagement ring into the brownie I gave her. Not only did she choke on the ring, but on the way to the emergency room, I find out she is highly allergic to walnuts. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was going to propose to my girlfriend of 4 years. I took the whole day to cook a nice meal, and stuck the ring in a cookie that I was going to give to her. In the middle of the dinner I was holding the cookie under the table, about to give it to her. My dog ate it. FML
Today, I wanted to propose to my girlfriend, so I bought M&M's which I had customized with the words "Will you marry me?" on them. She ate them all without reading them. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me a fancy chocolate candy and I got angry at him for forgetting that I'm allergic to chocolate and threw the candy into the garbage disposal. Turns out, he had spent a ton of money getting a chocolatier to put an engagement ring inside the candy that I just destroyed. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend to a very nice restaurant. I thought it would be a good place to pop the question. I gave the ring to the waiter and asked him to put it on her dessert plate. When she saw it, she picked it up, put it down, and said "No". Then she started to eat her dessert. FML
Today, I forgot my boyfriend was allergic to nuts and ate Nutella toast before he arrived. He had just brought me flowers for doing well in an exam and I kissed him. He had a reaction and I had to stab him in the leg. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. She said yes, but the ring turned out to be quite tight on her finger. She then chewed me out, saying that I can't do anything right, then changed her answer to no. FML

Today, it was my 17th birthday. I didn't want my family to spend money on a cake, so my dad made this delicious apple ring. At least, it was great until my mouth began to itch and my throat closed. I have been allergic to nuts since birth, and my dad put walnuts in my birthday cake. FML
Today, my fiancée and I were selecting our wedding cake. The wedding is now off since I refused to buy her the "dream" wedding cake she wanted because it was chocolate. She called me childish and cheap. I'm highly allergic to chocolate. FML
Today, I gave my boyfriend a box of chocolates as a present. A few hours later, he texted me saying that the box of chocolates contained nuts. He's allergic to nuts and his mother now thinks I'm trying to kill him. FML

How can you date her for 3 years, propose marriage, and not know she's allergic to walnuts?! Hope she's okay Hope she dumps your dumb ass

Wait, you were dating her for three years...you were about to ask her to marry you...and you didn't know she was allergic to walnuts!? And you really shouldn't have put a ring in a brownie. I mean, come on? Of course she's going to choke on it. It's not very romantic.

Why would you put the ring in the brownie to begin with?! There was a high possibility she would choke from the start. Next time you try to propose to a girl (and I hope it's not the same girl) think the plan through. If it involves possibly harming her it's not a good idea!

You definitely deserve this. You definitely should have been aware of the fact that placing something as small as a ring inside an edible item can be deadly. As for the walnut allergy, it is known for people not to reveal certain portions of their life for a long time, but this should have been known by the OP.

who didnt see that one coming? of course she chokes on the ring... do u pick through ur brownies before you eat them? next time just keep the ring to urself... it might be better for everyone if people like u didnt get married and reproduce

how can you bite into a brownie, feel a metal ring, and not notice it? she needs to learn to chew her food.

1) As news stories have told us, we should not hide rings in food. 2) How can you date someone for that long an not know their food allergies? 3) Why would you put walnuts in perfectly good brownies? You earned that one.
