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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

a) 3 years, and something as huge as a nut allergy slips past you? That's pretty damn serious, man. b) How small was the damn ring that she didn't even notice when she was chewing? Unless you guys are fresh out of high school, you got some 'splainin' to do. >:[

How stupid could you be to put a ring IN food you were giving her. What the hell did you expect her to do if not eat the ring? And your story doesn't add up unless you add the walnuts crushed into a paste because if she was highly allergic to walnuts she would have noticed any nut bits and said something. I call fake

What the hell why would you put a ring in a brownie? This means she eat the whole brownie in a bite?

You... are an idiot. Brownies are not conducive to marriage.

What a ******* stupid idea. You deserved that one.

The ring wouldn't have to be that small. It could have been near the back of her mouth when she took the bite, and sort of made its way to her windpipe before she could do anything about it. It's farfetched, but it's possible. But yeah, OP, you're pretty dumb.

1) You not knowing she's allergic to walnuts after 3 years makes you an idiot 2) Her not noticing the walnuts in the brownie and eating it makes her an idiot 3) Putting an engagement ring in a brownie is a stupid idea. Not only is it cliche, but it would get the ring all dirty! I know I wouldn't want my ring to have brownie chunks caught in all the grooves. Overall, horrible job on your part. If she says yes then she really does love you. I also think this sounds a little phony, though.

#10 it's a condition of trusting people that "know" you. Seems OP's not quite ready to walk the aisle...
