Part 2: Proposals gone wrong and lost engagement rings
The story about the minister who dropped the engagement ring from a hot balloom triggered David Mamane, CEO of MyJewelryBox.com, an online jewelry boutique, to come up with these suggestions. (Read the story about the minister here.)
Top 5 places NOT to put the engagement ring before you propose
1. Inside a hot air balloon: Pastor James Ng learned the hard way when he dropped his MyJewelryBox.com engagement ring hundreds of feet from a hot air balloon during his proposal. At least the whole situation wasn’t full of hot air … she said yes and a week later he found the ring.
2. In a cup: It really stunk when a New jersey man had to go through more than 10 tons of garbage to retrieve the wedding ring his wife placed in a paper cup, which he accidently threw away.
3. On a boat deck or pier: Crashing waves while proposing is romantic, but if you drop the ring into the water — a dive team search and rescue is not.
4. On a bridge: How depressing, a guy approached by the police-suicide prevention squad on the Brooklyn Bridge had to explain that he wasn’t trying to commit suicide, rather he was looking for the engagement ring that he had just dropped.
5. Jidden in food: It might be hard to stomach, but women have swallowed the ring their fiancée had hidden in champagne, dessert, and even a Wendy’s Frosty.

that would be horrible! Two ideas that get top marks include the help of an airplane. Idea one is to get your proposal displayed in the sky with sky-writing. A very memorable alternate is to have a banner made and flown over the area. If you can be with her, be sure to have the ring hidden but handy.
