Today, my boyfriend of 3 years finally proposed to me at the park we first met in. As I was about to say yes, a huge fly flew straight into my mouth. I ruined the moment by choking on it and eventually spitting it out on him. I think he's rethinking the proposal. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I finally plucked up the courage to propose to my girlfriend of 7 months. I took her out to the park where we had our first kiss, I got down on one knee, and before I could say, "Will you marry me?" a bird shat on my head. FML
Today, my boyfriend of three years proposed to me. He brought me to our favorite restaurant and ordered expensive champagne. It was all very romantic, until he got on one knee and I farted out of surprise. Loudly. FML
Today, I was on a date with my boyfriend when he suddenly got down on one knee and proposed. A waiter tripped over him and spilled our food all over him. FML
Today, at a restaurant, I happily watched as my boyfriend of three years got down on his knees and proposed to me. Before I could say yes and hug him, a girl flung herself at him, kissed him and shouted, "Yes!" With us still highly confused, she then ran away. FML
Today, my boyfriend's proposal speech somehow ended with him breaking up with me. FML

If that makes him rethink the proposal you should rethink your yes.

Bad luck
HowAreYouToday 34
true. but I dont think op's fiance is as much of a butt to just dump her for accidently getting a fly in your mouth.
HKCgrimmjow 15
I have to admit... That's pretty romantic. Minus the fly gag of course.
EdenCrystal 21
There was an old lady who swallowed a fly. I don't know why she swallowed that fly...

Fly Cooper.

If you explained he'll understand. At least I think he will anyway.
Mshrodes 13
Explained ? I'm pretty sure he was at his own proposal. He saw what happened.
WR4 10
Have you read that last bit? Sounds like even OP is half-expecting him to be an arse about it.
Mshrodes 13
What I meant is that there's no explanation to do. She ate a fly. It's bad luck but it happens. You telling her to explain herself makes it sound like she needs to apologize or something. If he's reconsidering the proposal because of something that in no way was OP's fault, then screw him. Although I'm pretty sure that's not true. Maybe OP was being sarcastic or exaggerated his reaction because it's an FML.

Seriously. Marriage is far more challenging than one ruined romantic moment.
JustBeingAwesome 22
Yeah. It's not even her fault, Bad enough she has to feel a fly in her mouth. Imagine those little wings flapping in your throat. That guy should swallow a bee.
ElricMustang 23
Exactly. I'm sure he'll understand that she didn't do it purposely to mock him or anything. Accidents happen; that's not enough to make you rethink something like that.

Such a shame how often people attack an OP's boyfriend/girlfriend for imaginary situations brought up by OP themselves. Nothing in the FML says anything about OP's BF rethinking his proposal. OP is the only one who brings it up, so really shame on you OP.
chosha_fml 27
#63 Um, yes. Hence #4's use of the word 'if.'
xsilentxninjax 10
I don't think it's fair to say that to OP. She is just worried, and embarrassed about the situation.

That comment is incredibly cruel.

spitters are for quiters
Warm_Apple_Pie 21
It is, particularly since I just got the pun.

Maybe he didn't realize you had a gag reflex
xxBFMVAAMIWxx 18
If he's proposing he'd have checked it out first ;)
Morqan_Freeman 14
Maybe he was just in the moment of realization that you choke on a fly so easily and when he thinks about if you choke when he puts his... Ah nevermind me, that just sucks... Yes it sucks. No? Ok I shall leave...

No. Just no. To both of you.

If that was a reason to rethink a proposal, no one in Australia would get married.
JACKxRAWR 22
How poisonous are the flies in Australia then? ;)
SmuggletheBudgie 15
They're not poisonous yet they feed off people who are repulsed by them. The more you swat the more will come. The trick is to ignore them once you have mastered an Australian fly crawling on your eyeball you can acomplish anything.

#8 True dat. :)

#18 - I hate camping when there's a lot of flies. Like 30 of them being on your back and more flying around you.
harshallmeim69 9
where the **** do you camp? I can go miles onto the forest and see only a couple flies.
ViktoriaaKills 13
pay more attention. they're talking about Australia..
RedPillSucks 33
@40 where do you go camping that you don't find insects.
Sports_guy3 28
The Sahara Desert.
Lilxpie 18
I have camped around desert type areas and areas with grass and on mountains (in summer/spring). In I think all of those places there were many flies in the morning. Yes, I'm in Australia.
annie_nk 23
I can see how choking noises and being spit on after popping the question would be really off putting, but if he's been with you for three years, nothing more than a simple explanation should be needed.
hansam 12
That fly wanted to be part of your special moment. Jealous beast.

I'm pretty sure you guys kiss, why would he be disgusted by your spit??
LostMy_Marbles 24
Sharing saliva in a passionate moment is one thing, but to be spat on is another. Can't say I would appreciate if my partner spat something on me, I'd be pretty disgusted.
shaytards_fml 9
they're disgusting in both ways
