Anyone without feelings for THIS poor oaf aren't human.

It seems like a man put a 12,000 dollar engagement ring into a helium balloon for his soon-to-be-wife.

The story goes that he was to have her pop the balloon and this ring would fall out.

I guess the balloon got loose and he chased it for 2 hours before he gave up.

The woman has turned down his offer of marriage until she gets another ring.

------------------

Of course she wants a ring. She can pawn the thing after he does something stupid.....again.

I'm sorry but I couldn't help but laugh....I would be too afraid to WEAR a $12,000 ring, let alone put one in a helium balloon. I'm just picturing that guy frantically running around after the balloon

[catland]

LOL. Every three-year old knows that you better tie the ballon to your wrist so it doesn't get away.

[sparks19]

OMG lol that poor guy. I think I would have chased that sucker for more than two hours haha $12,000 ring good lord. To be honest.. what a waste of money. if she demands a ring like that I would cut her loose lol. could use that money for a downpayment on a house or to buy a new car or something lol.

And t hen she turns him down until he gets her another ring? How ungrateful. I feel bad that that guy actually wants to marry such a materialistic woman lol.

A helium balloon lol. What was he thinking? Bet he won't do that again

[Ginger's Mom]

Hmm...did she actually see this ring and balloon, or is he the only person who saw this ring and this balloon?

Yeah honey, I bought you a $12,000.00 ring but it floated away in a helium balloon.

[Husky_mom]

LOL....

poor guy!!... I would too let loose that "women"......

weird thing I saw one time at a TV show.. one lady was saying someone gave his wife a million or so ring because he cheated on her... and the wife was like...ok you go again with that girl again I don´t mind, I´ll just stay here staring at my ring......

talk about material girls.......

I know nice stuff is nice... but not THAT nice......IMO.... there are more valuable things in this life......

I can't believe that man put an expensive ring in a helium balloon.
Tsk Tsk Tsk! (air between ears) It was a nice jester though.
If I was the woman and loved the man, it certainly would not stop me
from marrying him. Think of all the laughs they can telling that story
for generations. lol

I can't imagine spending that much money on a piece of jewlery, or an appliance or anything short of a vehicle! I'd be terrified to wear something that cost that much money. Heck as it is I have the most expensive watch I've ever owned in my life, with a hefty price tag of $30. ROFL

I'd have to wonder what was in the guy's head that he would not only spend that much on jewlery but that he'd send it up in a balloon to boot. Maybe insurance scam? Either way it's nutty to me.

[Freedom]

Richard, WHERE Was this?

I want to go find the balloon! No 'strings' attached for me to be taking on the oaf, either!! Do you have any idea how many feral cats and rescue bichons I could help with that ring???

I feel something for him but it's not sorry.... Any idiot who would put a $12,000 ring in a balloon without securing it deserves what happens.

I couldn't imagine spending so much on a ring! Love doesn't have a price or maybe I'm just cheap but if my husband had spent anywhere NEAR that much on my engagement ring I would have made him return it! That's more than we are saving for the down payment on a house!

And as for her, if she needs $12,000 ring to announce her love, maybe she should have a long sit-down with herself and think about her priorities.

[Alysser]

Glad I wasn't the only one who got a good laugh out of this.

[Suki Wingy]

Hah, serves him right for spending that much on a little tiny shiny rock.
