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

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. 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 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
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 with the cliché of the diamond ring in a champagne glass. Apparently there was an off-duty police officer across the room watching me slip the ring into the glass. He thought I was slipping in a date-rape drug and tackled me down before I could propose. 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 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, I went to a jeweler's to buy a ring to propose to my girlfriend. When I was at the restaurant, in mid-proposal, with people watching, I realized I had left the ring in the store. FML
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 proposed to the love of my life by having the waitress place the ring in her dessert. She ate the whole thing and didn't find the ring. I guess the waitress stole the ring. FML

If you didn't find it yet, buy a metal detector.

Hello darkness my old friend.... This ring of mine is yours again.... As I watched it slowly sinking... The light of my ring was now fading... And the mistake was planted in my brain... Four thousand dollars erased... Within the asphalt and silence...

You do know that the value of that diamond dropped at least 75% after you left the store, right?

Ouch! I can't imagine. That's more than I make in a month. On the bright side it will probably be a funny story you two can tell one day. Just not...ya know, today.

I will never understand expensive rings. "hey honey, let's take this money we can use on a house car ect ect and blow it all on a useless loop of metal with some rocks in it."

Unless it fell into someone else's balcony, there is a chance it is somewhere out there on the streets. I have to admit that this could have happened to me when I was proposed to, but there would have been no chance of getting it back. He did it on top of a metal bridge (gaps as the base) on one of the tallest mountains in the world that is covered in snow. Mind you, he is terrified of heights and the diamond costed more than double of £4000.
