One Man's Unlucky Day Is Another Man's Luck

I have heard of a lot of proposal mishaps and plans gone array. In fact, when my husband proposed to me the ring bounced off the bridge we were on and into the dry creek bed below. It was at sunset which is a very romantic time to propose, but not such a great time to search for a ring. Luckily we found in a relatively short period of time so our evening was not ruined and it now makes for a good story.

Some proposal ideas, however, should be thought through a bit. Or a little more precaution used. A young man in London had a great idea of proposing to his girlfriend by hiding the ring in a helium balloon.

Balloons seem innocent enough, however, as he left the shop with it, and the ring hidden inside, a gust of wind pulled the balloon from his hand and swept the the ring away.

He spent a few hours trying to chase the ring but eventually lost track of it. As with most balloons that are let go, most likely it is going to end up in the ocean or in some other uninhabited location. Hopefully though, someone honest will find the balloon and ring and return it to this unlucky chap!

Until then, his girlfriend is refusing to speak to him until he gets her a new ring. If she is that angry and stubborn maybe this was God or fate's way of helping him to dodge a bullet!
