The Worst Marriage Proposal
 
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/0...i_n_91870.html


It is the one moment every man wants to get right -- and which London floor-fitter Lefkos Hajji could hardly have got more wrong....Hajji, of Hackney, east London, had concealed a $12,000 engagement ring inside a helium balloon. The idea was that she would pop the balloon as he popped the question. But as he left the shop, a gust of wind pulled the balloon from his hand and he watched the ring -- and quite possibly the affections of his girlfriend -- sailing away over the rooftops.
"I had to tell her the story -- she went absolutely mad. Now she is refusing to speak to me until I get her a new ring."

His girlfriend is a bitch! I can't believe she's mad about that!

should've just walked back in the balloon shop, got more helium and proposed in a funny high pitched voice... she'd never have to know about the ring.

had it been a cheap ring he pawned his gtr for and they in college or something, this might actually work. charming thing to laugh off.

12 grand, funny voice and yr just an even bigger cunt.

Thank god I don't have to deal with this.

!@#$%! 03.18.2008 01:00 AM

nobody has to. sheep behavior is always a choice.

Yeah, but it is not expected. You know that whole queer thing.

Not in California, second cousins can still marry.

!@#$%! 03.18.2008 01:13 AM

next time (if there is a next time) save money & spend it in restaurants. a lot more pleasurable that a fucking ring for sure. ha ha ha.

That chick is a bitch, I am going to make her my new best friend.

Un poco, you should see me in the real world.

ZEROpumpkins 03.18.2008 01:40 AM

Hang on, how can a 12k ring NOT way down a balloon. Must have been pretty light, or just a very big balloon.
