Haha I was reading this article during my lunch break at the office today and I find it funny but odd.....and cute at the same time......
Baby, will you Marry.......Oh, nevermind!!
LONDON (Reuters) - It is the one moment every man wants to get right -- and which London floor-fitter Lefkos Hajji could hardly have got more wrong.
The luckless 28 year-old's dreams of giving his sweetheart, Leanne, 26, the ultimate proposal have literally vanished into thin air.
Hajji, of Hackney, east London, had concealed a $12,000 engagement ring inside a helium balloon. The idea was that she would pop the balloon as he popped the question.
But as he left the shop, a gust of wind pulled the balloon from his hand and he watched the ring -- and quite possibly the affections of his girlfriend -- sailing away over the rooftops.
"I couldn't believe it," he told The Sun newspaper.
"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."
Hajji spent two hours in his car trying to chase and find the balloon, without success.
"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."
He is hoping the ring will still turn up.
"It would be amazing if someone found it," he added.
Awww.....poor guy!! I thought that was very thoughtful of him!! And sweet!! But he was just luckless.....too bad. It's silly that the gf actually refused to talk to him after the incident tho. I mean, what did he do wrong? He was trying to be romantic and she should be happy to have such a nice man.

Gold digger! That was such a sweet and romantic proposal. Somethings are meant to happen - I hope he realises what a scumbag she is! Talk about being a B***h.
Wow. What a waste. It will be a sweet proposal though. But popping a balloon will be noisy and the ring will drop & calar oh...
LOL... poor thing...
Hikari : Haha Yeah, that's what I think as well.....I mean if she really loves him, why would she get annoyed just coz of that....that was so sweet
