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

why do guys think putting rings into food is EVER a good idea? or a cute idea? it's the dumbest and most disappointing proposal i've ever heard of. if i got a ring in my brownie, a) it would be gross and covered in chocolate, b) i would be like....uhm. you didn't have the guts to just ask, so you put it into a baked good? please tell me you're joking. for future reference, tell all of your friends not to do what you did. because it's stupid. just propose. with words. not messages written in the sky. not rings in brownies. just get on your knee and ask.

If you've been with her three years, how did you not know about the walnuts? And why didn't she look at them first? Regardless, this is horrible. If it happened to me, I would still say yes. But it'd take a week or two to get over. Good luck, buddy.

putting engagement rings in food is overdone and overrated

Really? In a brownie? What if she took a hard bite into the brownie and cracked her tooth? You deserved this. Sure, put it in a glass of wine or something....but a brownie? There's no way she's going to see it and there's so many bad things that can result from that. You clearly made that point.

Okay, first of all... NEVER put jewelry in food. It just screams disaster. Who wants to bite a ring? Secondly, if you've been dating someone for three years.. find out what they are allergic to!!! My goodness.

why would you think putting a ring in food is a good idea? and you do not know enough about her to marry her if you dont even know shes allergic to those

Hmmm, like a lot of others, I don't see the romantics of completely imbedding hundreds of dollars worth of love in a gooey baked good. I could see how a ring in dessert could be romantic though. You know, sticking out of a cheesecake that's beautfully decoratd, but not in far enough to completely destroy the ring with food. a waiter comes out and brings our dessert (covered, of course because it is a fancy restaurant) and when the lid comes off, there is a beautiful ring and when I glance over to the love of my life, he is down on one knee and there is nervous excitement all over his face as he asks me to be with him forever. Romantic? I think so. So ring in food is not always a fail. This just happened to be an extreme disaster. I feel for you, man. I hope she said yes.
