Miscellaneous: Today, I decided to propose to my girlfriend on the Charles Bridge...

Today, I decided to propose to my girlfriend on the Charles Bridge in Prague. A little boy thought it would be fun to chase a flock of pigeons towards me. I freaked out and dropped the 2 carat diamond ring. Into the river. 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 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, 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 was going to propose to my girlfriend of 3 years. I got reservations for a romantic dinner, and at the end, fireworks would spell out my proposal. The whole thing had taken weeks to plan out and had cost me a lot of money. She proposed to me at a subway station first. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend with the cliché of the diamond ring in a champagne glass. Apparently there was an off-duty police officer across the room watching me slip the ring into the glass. He thought I was slipping in a date-rape drug and tackled me down before I could propose. 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 proposed to my girlfriend in front of about 75 people in the fanciest restaurant in town. She told me she was already engaged, while holding up her right hand. FML

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

You should have thrown that little bastard in after it.

You let pigeons scare you ... You could kill an infinite amount of pigeons if you were to fight them. Next time, go down heroically. There will be statues with your demeanor biting off pigeons their heads.

Ok, so here's what a 2 carat ring looks like. Hmm, doesn't look bad at all to me. Any bigger and it would be too gaudy and obnoxious. http://mdcdiamonds.co.uk/images/ProductImages/CU2TRIANT-2.jpg This is an 8 carat. Looks like a bit much. http://www.peoplejam.com/files/u283/kobering.jpg [This was a reply to someone way up there. FML has completely ****** up.]

Some people have a lot of disposable income. If he could afford the trip to Prague for the proposal, he must be decently flush. The post made it seem as though they're not from there. And 2 carats isn't really that much unless you go to Tiffanys (~20k). Besides, for all we know he has it on a 10 year payment plan or something.

When they all come at you at once, it can be hella scary!! It's happened to me. Sucks for you, OP. I do think you should get it recovered.

Are you stupid? He's from the Czech Republic. It's like a little trip to the city. And the proposal is ruined, with the loss of the ring as an added bonus. That's why it's an FML.

Your ring seems to be a history nut... Charles bridge at this time is still pretty crowded ... but you must have omega freaked to get it past walls and statues and into that river. FML needs a "that's hilarious" option. ^_^

it's really not that hard to put a quarter into a jewelry dispenser that you can find at walmart.

Hopefully you got the ring insured before popping the question. I popped the question over a week ago and I got the ring insured as soon as I bought it. I wasn't taking any chances on something bad happening. If you didn't get it insured, then you're an idiot.....
