How can a wedding proposal got horribly wrong, even after your loved one says yes?

Let’s just say you’re in a paddleboat with your girlfriend… and you’ve lined up some friends to spell out the all-important question in sign form on the shore… and your significant other says yes… only to then slap your hand in excitement…

… and KNOCK THE ENGAGEMENT RING INTO THE WATER!

Yes, the same engagement ring on which you likely just spent multiple months’ salary.

You’d probably react in a similar way as the guy below, wouldn’t you? Check out the face he makes (of sheer panic) as soon as the piece of jewelry goes flying and note the girlfriend’s tears.

We hate to laugh, but those are decidedly not tears of happiness:

As for romantic proposals that actually went perfectly well? We’ve compiled an impressive list/gallery/slideshow below. Take a look now:

NOTE to men around the world: you may not want to propose on a boat. We’re just saying.
