Today, I was shopping for rings with my fiancée. We spent over 2 hours selecting the perfect ring and diamond to match. When filling out the paperwork I discovered I left my wallet at home. She had to pay the 20% down payment for the ring. FML

Today, I proposed to the love of my life by having the waitress place the ring in her dessert. She ate the whole thing and didn't find the ring. I guess the waitress stole the ring. FML

Today, I found out my boyfriend was going to propose. He'd bought me a beautiful white gold ring that I never got to see. His estranged mom stole the ring. FML

Today, I was out with my boyfriend, when he started browsing wedding rings. He found a ring, proposed to me right there in front of a crowd, and then was promptly denied a payment plan. We left without a ring. FML

Today, in preparation for proposing to my girlfriend, I borrowed one of her rings so I could discreetly get her ring size. Not only have I now lost the ring, which turns out to be a keepsake from her dead grandmother, I still don't know her ring size. 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 spent nearly an hour helping a customer pick out an engagement ring. I rang him up, picked out a super cute box for the ring, and wished him luck. Later I realized I never put the ring inside the box. FML

Today, I went to see a hockey game. The announcer asked if anybody found a ring in the stands, because a girl lost hers. While he talked about it, I realised that I forgot mine in my pocket, so I took MY ring and put it on my finger. A guy saw me and thought I stole the lost one. FML

Today, I was going to propose to my girlfriend. I had been hiding the ring in the sock drawer. When I went to retrieve it, the ring was gone and in its place was a sticky note that said "NO." FML

Hey, it's just a ring. It's the idea that you want to spend your lives together that's the issue. Hopefully she will be too happy about that to worry that you need to go back & collect the ring. If she turned you down because you left the ring behind, you're better off without her.

Hey I agree. When my husband proposed, he didn't have a ring. And it was fine. I was just as happy without one, his proposal couldn't had been more perfect. OP you should just tell her the truth and later go back to the jewelers, I'm sure they saw it and held it for you.

While that had to be the most embarassing moment ever, I agree it should be more about the idea over the material possesion

Yeah, but the *idea* is that the *idea* material possession represents the whole *idea* of being engaged and getting married, therefore the *idea* that the guy really cares. Being without the ring might give her the *idea* that this guy isn't really dedicated to the *idea* or thoughtful towards her at all.
