According to Reuters (via the Sun -- in London), a man in East London put together the perfect plan for proposing to his girlfriend: Put the ring in a helium balloon and then "pop" the question.
Cute, right?
However, he ran into trouble -- he lost grip of the balloon as he exited the shop and it floated away. He says he chased/searched for the balloon for two hours before giving up. I would too, if I were him -- it was a $12,000 ring.
However, that's not even the clincher. I'll take it directly from the poor sap's mouth:

"I thought I would give Leanne a pin so I could literally pop the question," he said. "But I had to tell her the story -- she went absolutely mad. Now she is refusing to speak to me until I get her a new ring."
Um, what?! Dude, if your girl is upset because you lost a ring YOU PAID FOR by accident, maybe she isn't the one. Maybe she was joking, but you don't joke about losing a $12,000 ring.
