How did you propose or get proposed to?

Hackney, East London. A ring floating around somewhere.

He's better off. That is really a sad tale but refusing to speak to him is truly ridiculous.

my thoughts exactly.

I agree. It's awful about losing the money, but what a red flag! At least he knows what kind of person she actually is before he marries her. Let's hope he comes around before he buys her another ring...

terrible...seems all she wanted was that ring...well there goes $12g down the---er, up in the air...:whistling

 

[Foofoogal]

Yes, may of been cheap in the long run. Could of cost him as much as Paul McCartney down the road. 25 million pounds or $54.03 million USD.
I guess LOVE is not all you need to some.

With any luck someone will find it and turn it in to him. ::knocks woods::

Those are my thoughts exactly. It sounded like a creative idea, despite the disaster.

If she won't talk to him for all the trouble he went to, well he should get a new girlfriend or future wife.

 

[Micawber]

He certainly won't do it again in a hurry lol

Agree with you there, certainly makes her sound a "material" type. Whatever happened to the "thought that counts"?

Poor chappy.

 

[gluegungeisha]

Ugh, what a horrible girlfriend! He deserves someone who appreciates his efforts and creativity. Maybe that incident will save him years of frustration.

 

[Smuterella]

yes, the romance of his effort is worth far more than the ring

and seriously, living in Hackney, a GBP 6,000 ring is not a good idea

And then he will hopefully wise uo and save it for a girl who cares more about him than having an expensive ring.

Let's hope she finds a better man, one that doesn't worry about such a cheap ring being lost in the clouds.

It must have been a good size balloon.
When I was a kid I tied one of those turbo whistle rings to a balloon I got at the carnival thinking it would take off, it went straight to the ground and this was a 16- 18 inch balloon. I would think it would take a 20 plus inch balloon to haul off a $12,000 $$ ring.

Absolutely. My last boyfriend used to throw diamonds off of my balcony just so I could watch them sparkle on the way down...
