Today, my boyfriend thought it would be romantic to make me dinner surrounded by a candlelight setting. By the time I got home, we had 7 firefighters surrounding our house. Turns out one of the candles fell on the carpet and lit up the curtain as well. FML

No, this happened in Australia, and no it was not featured on the news of any sort. It happened on 30 June 2012, aha.

I bet you were both concentrating on the practice of safe sex for the evening. Little did you know, fire safety would have been more practical.

He wanted to heat things up I see ;)

at least he tried but now you have a reason why he should never use fire again :).

7 firefighters, now all we need are some French maids!

It's the thought that counts right??

Never leave a fire unattended. Anyone who put any real thought into it would know to wait to light the candles until after you get home.

i guess now the carpet DOES match the curtains!

Yes, now they are both charcoal coloured..

So he tried to do something romantic and something horrible happened... You can't predict life and at least he was trying to do something nice! :) Hopefully you have home and contents insurance (if you own) and I hope that there wasn't too much damage. : /

Well were they at least hot firefighters? If so, you had options there!
