Oops - how not to propose
DOH! From the
UK Sun:
Balloon seen in the sky with diamond
A hopeless romantic saw his engagement plans vanish into thin air � after a balloon containing a �6,000 diamond ring was blown away.
Luckless Lefkos Hajji wanted to surprise girlfriend Leanne, 26 � so he told a florist to put the sparkler inside a helium balloon.
But as he left the shop a gust pulled it from his hand and the balloon soared into the sky.
Lefkos, 28, said: �I couldn�t believe it.
�I just watched as it went further and further into the air. I felt like such a plonker. It cost a fortune and I knew my girlfriend would kill me.�
But maybe it revealed something about his girlfriend that he should listen to:
�Now she�s refusing to speak to me until I get her a new ring.�
The relationship is not about the ring -- maybe Lefkos should reconsider his choice...
