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

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 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 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. 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. 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 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, 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 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
Today, I found the $3,200 engagement ring I dropped in my yard. I ran over it with my lawnmower. FML
Today, in preparation for proposing to my girlfriend, I borrowed one of her rings so I could discreetly get her ring size. Not only have I now lost the ring, which turns out to be a keepsake from her dead grandmother, I still don't know her ring size. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

It's probably in the lake.

Looks like it's time to take her scuba diving next.

That is TERRIBLE!!! I kind of agree with the others that you never thought of this situation before, but that is still terrible. Sorry :(

Good rings start at $20,000. YDI for being cheap, and a moron.

cars are 20,000 not rings. or may be I wasn't born into a millionaire family

No it's not just you... To me, $2000 is a bit excessive. But if you have the money, sounds good to me. The question is, who in their right mind brings a $2000 ring jet-skiing, without making sure it's properly secured? Somebody is a few bricks short of a building apparently....

Jonny2x4 (or anyone else who feels like doing this), I challenge you to find me a nice $20,000 ring that doesn't look tacky. Now I challenge you again, to find me a $20,000 ring that doesn't look tacky, AND doesn't have diamonds (Because I don't like diamonds, and never wanted a diamond engagement ring) Yes, this is an actual challenge. I've never seen a $20,000 ring to begin with, and when I imagine them, they have disproportionately large stones that look ridiculous. But I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and saying "hey, maybe there are really nice $20,000 rings."

If a guy proposed to me with a $20,000 ring, I would punch him in the face for spending so much damn money.

I'd never wear the damn thing... I'd be too afraid of something happening to it! A couple hundred is fine by me. I don't need extravagance - it's the meaning of the ring that counts.

if my husband had proposed to me with a 20,000 dollar ring I woulda been super pissed... that coulda been a downpayment on a house instead...

I'm with the rest of y'all, $20,000 is way excessive for a ring. That would definitely be a ring that needed a ridiculous amount of insurance on it and would still be terrifying to actually wear anywhere. On a random note, I'm glad to hear that I am not the only person who dislikes diamonds.

This morning I was messaged a picture of a diamond ring that was 20,000 and looked fairly reasonable. Not my style, but still, not something ridiculous. Still waiting for a non-diamond one though. :)

You are a dumb ass for buying a $2000 ring in the first place and a moron for losing it in the lake.

You intended to propose...during a jet skiing outing? You don't propose when there is such a high chance of the ring getting lost. She wouldn't--or at least shouldn't--wear it in the lake, anyway, in case it, you know, got lost. At least you saved her the pain of losing it herself.
mrahhhhh 21
Next time propose with a piece of coal like the other boyfriend on FML. Hey they're both forms of carbon!

While that was a nice thought, you probably shouldn't have taken it to go jet skiing and just left it at home or back in your car. However, this isn't the worse that could have happened: a group of pirhanna's could have attacked you and your girlfriend. She would have then broken up with you for taking her on such dangerous activities. Either way, the end result is an FML; however, my "what if" would make a helluva lot better FML and maybe even one of the worst B movies of all time.

FYL, definitely. But you sorta deserve it too. Jewelry and jet skiing (or really, anything on the water at all) don't go together. Something ALWAYS gets lost.
