It sucks it was a family ring the most. To me, anyway. My H proposed on the dock, so we were terrified one of us would drop it and it would end up in the river.

My stone is an heirloom.  DH knew that he'd be dead if something stupid happened to it.

Fi proposed to be at the edge of the Griffith Observatory and now every time we go back or hike the trails I can't help but think what if we would have dropped it.

Next time Scott is sad about his proposal I'm showing him that story!

I thought I had lost the hankerchief that the "Marriedlastname" women have had for their wedding day all the way back to the early 1800's after our wedding. I couldn't find it anywhere in my suitcase, dress bag, etc. About 6 months later (with guilt eating away at me every day) I found it in Scott's glovebox.

That makes me sick to my stomach--especially that it was a family ring.  My diamonds are heirloom, and I would be heartbroken if something happened.

Scott said he was going to do the classic proposal of putting the ring in a glass of wine or desert or something, then he realized I would probably swallow it by accident.
Smart man I have...

Thank gosh mom got it insured.

Katie, didn't that happen a while ago?  I think the story I read was that the guy put it in a Frosty, and the girl scarfed it down.  Not sure how she didn't notice that, though.

I'm sure it's happened a lot of times, it just seems like an accident waiting to happen. Yeah, I'd imagine you would feel a ring going down though. Mine would have hurt like a bia with the square cut.

J carried mine around the Magic Kingdom all freaking day in his pocket - no box, nothing. At least his shorts had velcro.

And proposed to me in the hotel instead. Goober.

My FI carried it around though dinner and a show and then the Las Vegas strip (no box or anything either) - in his pocket - with no velcro.  And then proposed in front of the Bellagio fountains.  We were right next to the water, so instead of me saying "yes" I said "be careful - don't drop it!!!"

Starmusica

ugh what a moron. I was just down in that area in june. Only a world class idiot would attempt that! There is no way that proposal was going to go well when he placed that ring there.

There was a story similar where the guy was planning to propose in a hot air balloon and dropped it over the side.  They had a huge search party and ended up finding it!  Crazy.  Wow...just imagine if someone stumbles across that ring in the rocks though (not knowing the story behind it)

My FI rolled up his shirt and tucked it into the shirt.  He walked around with it like that all day, even on the damn NYC subway.  Afterwards, I asked him if he was scared he'd drop it.  He said whenever I touched him, he had to push me away in case I accidentally touched it. I always think about the ring falling in between the subway tracks and a rat eating it.  It's happened!
