A lesson learned

This, folks, is why you should always propose indoors. And also maybe throw down a tarp first.

This is also why engagement rings come conveniently packaged in decorative boxes.

...wait, it actually FLEW OUT OF THE BOX? That is crazy. (I've been hearing about this story all week but didn't read this particular piece yet.)

It could happen, settings gets caught in the lid fabric or something.

Actually I would have been reluctant to marry someone this obviously crazy. *whistles*

I especially liked the related story it linked to, about the engagement ring that got swallowed (http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/29462344/).

I officially proposed in our back yard, handing over an emerald ring that my now-wife had chosen and which had been adjusted to fit her finger. The emerald fell out of the ring into the grass, which at that time was unusually green and more than usually long. We never recovered it.

Fortunately, the jeweller who'd adjusted the ring gave us an even better-looking replacement.
