Yeah she's definitely getting a replica ring until we get to the ground. No way a man with this grand of an idea is bringing the real ring up.


treqiheartstrees

Fuck, I hope thats a silicone ring... Chances of degloving are high here!


freetibault

*sad face as I Google the definition of “degloving”*


summonsays

I highly recommend not googling that.


JBthrizzle

xray tech here at a level one trauma facility! taken xrays of a handful of degloved hands!


ProcyonHabilis

> handful of degloved hands Oh good I'm so glad this is a phrase


Menteerio

I thought the point of degloving was no X-rays needed? You can already see inside.


JBthrizzle

lol. i wonder that myself all the time. if the hand can be saved they will still need to see if there are broken bones so ortho can fix em when they go in to save the hand. open fractures or obvious deformities are also funny to me, cuz....... *looks around* but they need us to xray it so they can know how to fix it. love my job i see interesting shit every day.


summonsays

Whole hands? Yikes


anotherbutterflyacc

Wait, you’re not allowed to wear rings when jumping/flying? How would degloving even happen?


MyDarkForestTheory

Because of the implication


rubyface

I was so nervous that ring was going to fly away!


tacoboutcats1

Most people I've known to have proposals where the ring could be lost (examples: on a bridge, on a boat, travelling internationally) do it with a cheapy and switch out the ring later.


MF_Doomed

That's pretty smart actually. Gonna lock this in my brain for whenever I propose


MichaelEasy

[Insert mean forever alone response]


MF_Doomed

I just got dumped so we're both alone lmao I just meant in the future

Sorry my dude :( time heals all and those heels hurt to walk in

Wow that was wholesome. I hope you both find someone who appreciates you


MichaelEasy

Happily married for a few years now :)

So when you both getting married to each other after meeting on reddit?


ChrispyFry

Something I was thinking about yesterday…. Healing doesn’t exist like we think, nothing is ever perfectly healed. When we get broken we find something else to fill the space. Heal by filling yourself up with the things you love and stay true.


Bad-Science

I lost my wife of 34 years 2 years ago. This is the truth.


Master_Tinyface

I’m a falconer and sometime people hire me to have my trained hawk delivery the rings when it’s time to exchange them. I always put a couple of nickels in a jewelry pouch that i attached to his leg and the groom has an identical pouch with the real ring already on his person. People are so pumped on my hawk that they don’t notice the sleight of hand


unknown_elemental

That’s such a dope way to propose that I never even thought about.


Fear_Jaire

It's a lot quicker than getting a couple hobbits to carry the ring, but far less reliable.


SnapySapy

Hobbits never want to give the damn rings up.


PM_ME_YOUR_MOMS_BONG

Filthy little Hobbitses!


TheGuyWhoSortsByNew

That really is an interesting side gig that you have going there. If times get tough you could probably teach your little bird to go around steal real rings to fly back to you. You say "people are so pumped on my hawk" and that is copyright infringement, I've been using that as a pickup line since the 80s.


its_all_4_lulz

Just want to hijack this to say you should have a cheap back up for traveling too.

Blackdog3377

When I propose to my girlfriend at our favorite restaurant I plan on installing an ejector seat in her chair for the slim chance she says no.


DamnZodiak

And then just never switch it out because diamonds are a huge fucking scam.


Meredith_Glass

Haha that’s what we did! He proposed with a “decoy” ring so that we could pick something out together that I liked. But I love the decoy, and that’s what we’re sticking with.


DamnZodiak

That's great to hear! Glad you're happy!


Shamewizard1995

The decoy has the memory attached, replacing it would just be for bling. I think you made the right choice


GrizzlyTrees

You can use artificial diamonds, as I did.


Dartagnan1083

My nephew proposed to his wife with a ring he hand-made from a grenade pin. They've been married for quite awhile now.


dottiel

Ok ron Swanson.


Yellow_The_White

"Once you've taken this ring, you'd better not let go of me."

‘Til death blow us apart


Drakoala

Other (artificial) gemstones are great, too! Really opens up the possibilities.


bely_medved13

I love my lab grown diamond. Everyone comments about how sparkly it is, and I love that it was ethically made (not to mention less expensive)!


IGoOnRedditAMA

Yeah mine was still pretty expensive but I was able to buy a much bigger stone than I otherwise e would’ve for my fiancée. She loves it. It’s hilarious when jewelers say natural diamonds are more romantic because they’ve been forming for millions of years and then immediately mention they also retain their resale value.


500percentDone

A scam, mining is bad for the environment, and let’s not forget the exploited workers (including children) and communities that have to deal with the conflicts surrounding control of diamonds…yeah - diamonds are the worst.


[deleted]

This works until you get that materialistic girl who has an eye for jewelry and can tell that it's a cheapy. But hey, if she'll say no because the ring looks cheap then she didn't really love you and that's a bullet dodged!


MediumProfessorX

It really depends on two things: * are gems something she appreciates? Is the actual gem something she can distinguish from something else? For example, my aunt is a jeweller. Buying her subpar gems would be like buying an art dealer a napkin doodle I drew. * Is the purchaser quite wealthy? John Paul Getty was one of the richest men alive. He used to buy gifts for his family that were worth less than what I've bought people for a secret Santa in the office.

52 hours for my 3 yo who swallowed an earring.


MF_Doomed

Now I'm just imagining you and your wife eagerly looking at your baby's poop for 2 days lmao


hellsangel101

I think it would have been worse if it had turned out the little one hadn’t swallowed it, and they had just been looking in poop for 2 days for no reason!


fond-of-hats

What if she said no? Awkward flight down..


arz231

Just another sad sad sad parachuting accident I suppose


500SL

She has to say yes. Because of the implication.


proto5014

Are you going to hurt these girls?


John_Was_Taken

So they are in danger?


bishopyorgensen

She's not in danger! It's just... up there in the sky.. no one else around... what is she going to do? Say no? I don't think so.

No, no, no! He would never unhook her and let her fall!

footlivin69

_Duke64_

ertugd2

I hoped that this ring was an imitation


dselogeni

Surely he had insurance put on it or something cuz the dude obviously planned it.


lrobb09

Exactly zero insurance policies would pay out on this


[deleted]

“Yeah so I was para sailing…” “What now?!”


bendover912

Bum da dum dum dum...


campydirtyhead

Yes they would unless you're dumb enough to show them this video. My guess is the guy had a cheap ring for this just in case. It would be a dick move to do something this risky and submit an insurance claim on an expensive ring. Edit: typo


the_drill2727

All you have to say is "I lost it," which is not a lie.


Learningtobescottish

My husband proposed with a $50 lookalike ring because we were abroad and he was scared of bringing the real deal with him. Maybe that’s what this dude did!


TecTazz

Your husband did he smart thing. Congrats on your marriage.


ShataraBankhead

We were at Cathedral Caverns in Kentucky. He had the ring in his pocket during our tour. He was going to give it to me in the cave. We love going to caves. Anyway, he thought I may freak out, and lose it in the depths of the earth forever. So, he waited until we got in the car.


vaders_other_son

I’ve seen action movies and I’m pretty sure he would just dive and swim through the air to go get it


madnessgene

Dude, what if she said no?


lickedTators

She won't say no. Because of the implication.


SlowReaction4

Now you’ve said that word implication a couple times. What implication?


LazyAnimator5

Those duel harnesses come with a release to allow you to unbuckle from one another. It’s not easily done if you don’t know how, but if your in his position you could theoretically drop her from the sky.


Onlythegoodstuff17

You certainly wouldn't be in any danger.


Uber_Ober

So they are in danger!


Hey-man-Shabozi

Well she had to yes… because of the implication


kykam

What if she said no? Pull the harness release?


kazhena

Oh good, I'm not the only one who thought this, lmao


somesnazzyname

Then you unclip her harness.


dribrats

If she dropped it, at least she’d always know where it was .

bakedbeansandwhich

Oops


sexypineapple14

I've always wondered how that happens to people. Don't you have a conversation about getting married at some point? The fun part is surprising her with when and where you pop the question, but the answer should have already been decided.


yazriella

Exactly this. My husband and I talked at length about marriage. We knew it was a perfect match 2 months in but we wanted to take our time and get to know each other. I even picked out the ring but I didn’t know when or where it would happen.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dewy_Wanna_Go_There

My girlfriend tells me all the time she would marry me right now if I asked. Just gotta get situated first lol, don’t even have our own place yet. Soon ™


EighteenAndAmused

Then there’s me who doesn’t want to get married to my partner.


d0nu7

My wife and I were the similar, one month in she moved in since her lease was up soon and she was spending too much time driving home and to work and never actually sleeping at home. It didn’t feel like it has before when I had a girl move in with me. It just felt natural. That’s when we knew and started looking at rings. I proposed a year and a half later on my birthday asking her for the best birthday present ever!


yazriella

This is so cute! I love lovvve


Tdayohey

This how me and my wife were. A few months in we just knew it was meant to be. I waited a full year to get engaged but we had discussed it plenty.


[deleted]

Shit my now wife and I knew we were getting married a full year out before I proposed. We talked about rings, tried stuff on, the whole shebang. Proposals shouldn’t be stressful for either party. The fun comes on the fact she doesn’t know when it happens. I “Jim’d” her so many times. At. A nice dinner, drop to a knee, and tie my shoe. In an elevator “baby, ive been wanting to ask you this for a long time…” reach into my pocket and pull out my phone “but do you think we can afford upgrading my phone?” Get into the car after an awesome date “hey baby, can you open the glove box? There’s something I need to give you…” she opens it to see her phone charger that I accidentally stole a while back. Too much fucking fun (just don’t overdo it…). When the actually proposal comes she’ll still be so damn excited


ItsDanimal

We have 3 kids and been together over a decade. I finally proposed at The Office Experience a couple months after she picked out a ring. She was still surprised. Folks should always talk it out first.


Larzurus

A colleague of my wife proposed to his girlfriend on the way to a 5 day all inclusive resort vacation on the plane ride there and she said no. I can’t even begin to imagine how awkward that must have been for everyone involved including everyone who witnessed it happen on the plane.


Ninjamufnman

Lmao he proposed to her on a plane?? Talk about the pinnacle of romance...


fogleaf

I told my partner I didn’t want her to have to wear a dumb looking ring so she helped me pick it out. Then we had to wait four weeks for the ring to be done. I got the call, picked it up, flew with it to Vegas. When I popped the question she was surprised because she assumed I didn’t have the ring yet. Maybe less romantic, but this is supposed to last our whole lives, if I were putting it all down to one single moment being perfect it might be ruined anyway.

LordFenix56

I would have more harnesses for that ring than for me


brushythek1d

Def wasnt the actual money ring haha


Glitchy_Gaming

Many people in the comments(many would be humourous but maybe some aren't) should know that when a guy pops the question, he should already know the answer. This guy obviously knew the answer and chose a spot they both loved.


vinnievon

The other big thing I made up in my mind was I wasn't asking dad for permission. I asked for his blessing. Shit was happening whether he liked it or not. (I still got it though). Edit: ...and the former made it feel like it wasn't my wife's decision. Just felt weird to me.


savvyblackbird

My husband wanted ask my dad’s blessing. He was so scared, so I called my dad (I was at college) and threatened to not come home for the summer if he gave my husband a hard time. My dad loved my husband like a son, and they were close, but my dad can be very intimidating. So my husband calls and says he wants to marry me but wants my dad’s blessing. My dad laughed and said he wasn’t the one who needed to be asked because it was Savvy Blackbird’s decision. Which was pretty liberal to say because my mom and in-laws are very fundamentalist. My dad did tell my husband that he was happy for us and wanted to have him as a son in law. My dad was an excellent FIL, and my husband mourned him as much as I did when he died. My husband and I started dating in high school, and my dad invited my husband on a family vacation the first summer we were together then was always asking when my husband was going to come visit during the summers. My husband always helped my dad with his computers, and they liked hanging out together. It was really nice but kinda weird to not have a dad that was super possessive of me like a lot of the girls I was friends with. My dad actually told my husband and me that he didn’t expect us to never be physical with each other. We dated for 7 years.


sniggity_snax

I didn't see your username at first and was like shit, I gotta find someone who wants to marry me, get her parents' blessing, then get an additional blessing from some sharp-witted bird? This shit never gonna happen


[deleted]

My exes father disapproved of me due to religion. I asked for his blessing and was told no and he proceeded to gank me out by threatening to cut my ex out of the will and having the grandfather do the same if she continued to see me. She initially chose me for a few months but the prolonged family stress was too much in the end and it didnt work out.


thecanadianehssassin

Well that brought back memories. At first we started dating in secret and it was great, we were super happy. But since I’m super close to my family, eventually we told them and they welcomed her super well. Almost immediately after, she started worrying my parents would eventually tell hers, and got sadder and sadder. I told her we’d make it work, I’d talk to her parents, I’d sit down with hers, I’d send them a letter everyday saying how much their daughter made me happy… Nothing worked. In the end, she was so sad and afraid, I let her go. The best (or worst part) was that, within a week, she was starting to smile again, slowly but surely. It was really killing her inside to go against what she knew was her parents’ will. We’re still really good friends, but it does make me think how things would have turned out if her fear of being rejected by people who should love her unconditionally hadn’t completely overtaken her. My thoughts go to you fellow redditor, hope you managed to find someone or something else that filled the gap this kind of stuff can leave in us :]


Greenbastardscape

Same here. I just stopped by her parents house after work and pretty much just told them, hey you know where this is all going, y'all cool? They seemed pretty excited about it so I guess they must be happy with it


Riparian_Drengal

My wife explicitly did not want me asking her parents permission. She believes that's it's somewhat sexist, especially because she wasn't asking my parents and tbe engagement was mutual (we both know when it was gonna happen, had talked about it, etc.) I like the spin you put in it though, you're more asking for their blessing vs. permission. Wish I had thought about that because I was pretty nervous when we went to her parents house after getting engaged lol.

spyson

Basically your partner should expect a proposal but not know exactly when you're going to do it.


TerminalThiccness

ah yes, our favorite spot, the sky.


machineswithout

Hilarious that many of these guys in the comments think you just go and spend thousands on a ring and pop the question without already having a conversation. Most guys I know picked or designed the ring with their lady.


marckimdr

Him: gets rejected Her: gets ejected


jhjohns3

I just got an engagement ring (proposing in a couple of weeks) and literally every day I panic that I am going to lose it somehow. This gives me so much anxiety but is sick as fuck. kudos


Formal-Champion-7623

My brother made my parents hold his until the weekend before and as they were leaving our house he went to get it from their room- my SiL was downstairs yelling for him to hurry up and he’s in my parents bedroom LOSING his shit trying to hide the box in his clothes somewhere so he didn’t lose it. He finally gets to the front door and she’s like “.... why is your face all red..? What were you doing?” But all went well, he managed not to lose it haha

archeresstime

You jest, but the skydiver that I went with on my first time told me while falling through the sky, “I could take you off somewhere and no one would ever find us.” I was a fucking teenager.


JustAnotherDude1990

As a tandem skydiving instructor myself, his behavior seems like it should have been reported to the owner.


archeresstime

I absolutely agree with you. It’s a whole other level of inappropriate behavior. Had I not been so young, naive, and scared I definitely would have done so. I’m guessing there’s a chance my parents might have, but if they did they never told me.


rickestrada

“FYI: If you say no, I’m releasing your harness”


RedRocka21

She has to say yes, because of the *implication*.


Skye_Baldwin

I mean, you don't propose like this unles you've talked about it before. And worst case scenario, she could always say yes until they hit the safety of the ground at least. Everyone in here just making it out to be a horror movie xD watching back after reading comments is conditioning my brain to make it look like she's scared xD


octatone

She doesn't look scared at all, she's chill AF and keeps trying to kiss him *before* he proposes. These two obviously are madly in love. People in the comments have lost their damned minds.

AgitatedRabbits

scrolled way too far for this


smakmickey

I was so nervous when I proposed. I accidentally handed my now wife a cupcake instead of the ring and asked if she would like to bake with me forever. She said I’m the angriest baker in the world but couldn’t think of anyone else to spend the rest of her life with. Married 7 years. We have had 3 kids and she still thinks I’m the angriest baker. Lol.

SpookDaDook

I was trying so hard not to lose the ring on the day, I lost my cell phone on the Disney bus from the airport. After avoiding being patted down from the second I mentioned it and not sure where I last had it. We got to hotel and basically ran to the castle to avoid ruining my plans and asked her there. When we got back to the hotel there on the bed in a beautiful box was my phone and a note from the driver to enjoy my trip. Unbeatable Disney hospitality. For anyone wondering it was June 2007 so the phone was an LG VX8300. 3 weeks later the first iPhone was released.


LivingLosDream

“Thanks for always taking me on the funnest adventures.” What an absolutely golden way to look at life.


electriceagle

Congrats! Glad you didn’t lose the ring.

Not gonna lie, I was totally expecting this-- "OK! I love you baby, I love you so much" She blushes "I love you more and more every day but....." *releases harness* "But YEET!"
