Love: Today, I decided to ask my girlfriend of 3 years to marry me....

Today, I decided to ask my girlfriend of 3 years to marry me. I made brownies with walnuts and put an engagement ring into the brownie I gave her. Not only did she choke on the ring, but on the way to the emergency room, I find out she is highly allergic to walnuts. FML

Today, I was going to propose to my girlfriend of 4 years. I took the whole day to cook a nice meal, and stuck the ring in a cookie that I was going to give to her. In the middle of the dinner I was holding the cookie under the table, about to give it to her. My dog ate it. FML

Today, I wanted to propose to my girlfriend, so I bought M&M's which I had customized with the words "Will you marry me?" on them. She ate them all without reading them. FML

Today, my boyfriend gave me a fancy chocolate candy and I got angry at him for forgetting that I'm allergic to chocolate and threw the candy into the garbage disposal. Turns out, he had spent a ton of money getting a chocolatier to put an engagement ring inside the candy that I just destroyed. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend to a very nice restaurant. I thought it would be a good place to pop the question. I gave the ring to the waiter and asked him to put it on her dessert plate. When she saw it she picked it up, put it down and said "no". Then she started to eat the dessert. FML

Today, I forgot my boyfriend was allergic to nuts and ate Nutella toast before he arrived. He had just brought me flowers for doing well in an exam and I kissed him. He had a reaction and I had to stab him in the leg. FML

Yes or No?

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. She said yes, but the ring turned out to be quite tight on her finger. She then chewed me out, saying that I can't do anything right, then changed her answer to no. FML

Today, it was my 17th birthday. I didn't want my family to spend money on a cake, so my dad made this delicious apple ring. At least, it was great until my mouth began to itch and my throat closed. I have been allergic to nuts since birth, and my dad put walnuts in my birthday cake. FML

Today, my fiancée and I were selecting our wedding cake. The wedding is now off since I refused to buy her the "dream" wedding cake she wanted because it was chocolate. She called me childish and cheap. I'm highly allergic to chocolate. FML

Today, I gave my boyfriend a box of chocolates as a present. A few hours later, he texted me saying that the box of chocolates contained nuts. He's allergic to nuts and his mother now thinks I'm trying to kill him. FML

what #6 said, how could you possibly not know that she was allergic to walnuts after 3 years? And why would you ever PUT A RING IN A ******* BROWNIE!??! really, that was just dumb, i'm glad she didn't die from your stupidity.

You didn't know that after 3 years? That's really strange. YDI.

you put the ring in a brownie? see, that's why clichés exist, because you couldn't have messed-up with putting it in champagne!

Not true. What if his GF doesn't drink? Or just doesn't like champagne? Or what if she doesn't like the idea of putting a germ-covered ring inside her drink? *shudder*

i'm not gonna say you deserved that. you were trying to be thoughtful and romantic with your proposal and it went horribly wrong. her food allergies might not have come up during the time that you've known her. i've had people in my life that i've known for many years but didn't find out about something they're allergic to until more recently, so i'm not really going to blame you for that. it's really not that unheard of to me. but seriously whether it was 3 years 3 months or 3 hours, i don't think anybody deserves to accidentally have something like this happen to the person they wanna spend their whole life with. sorry man. might be a long shot, but i hope she still says yes. just make sure the wedding cake doesn't have any nuts.

damn using brownies for proposal? you went all out for that one didn't you.. no really, it must be a huge feat for someone who is as oblivious as to not knowing what their girlfriend of 3 years is allergic to. gj, bud

A) I hope you 2 never have kids B) wayyyyyy to be original on that proposal C) Next time carry an epi pen and jam it into her thigh this will give her enough time to say either "No" "Yes" or "You sonfoabitch get me to a hospital now before I choke you with this brownie"
