This isn't a fairytale. There are no glass slippers or fairy godmothers in this guide. I've focused on some marriage proposal no-nos and how to creatively get out of saying yes. Have a story that will result in us laughing at someone else's expense? Please share!

She swallowed the ring

This was doomed from the start.

1. He took his girlfriend to Wendy’s.
2. He invited her friends.
3. He hid the ring in her Frosty.
4. Friends challenged her to a Frosty race.
5. She swallowed the ring.

Yep. She’s still marrying him.

Onstage Proposal Gone Wrong

The band lets this guy come up on stage and propose to his girlfriend. Of course she says no, walks off stage and the band plays on!

Balloon seen in the sky with diamond

Lefkos Hajji, wanted to “pop the question” to his fiancee, Leanne, literally. Hajjji thought it’d be a great idea to place a $12,100 diamond engagement ring in a helium balloon. The wind had other plans. A huge gust ripped the balloons from his grasp and caused Hajji to chase the bunch for two hours in his car. Leanne isn’t speaking to him until she gets a ring. Can you blame her?

Happy ending

Don Walling planned to propose to his girlfriend, Gina Pellicani, on the Brooklyn Bridge’s pedestrian walkway. On the way there, he dropped the ring through a crack and into traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge roadway below.

Surprisingly he was able to find the ring and have it repaired.

Would-Be Bride Swept to Sea During Proposal

Scott Napper had taken his girlfriend, Leafil Alforque, to Proposal Rock (I couldn’t make this up). Before he could pop the question, a wave about 3 feet high suddenly came toward them. Tragically, Alforque, who was only 93lbs, had been caught by the receding waters. She was never seen again.

Channel your inner Drew Peterson

“I don’t think that’s a good idea, cause if you end up dead like my last 3 husbands it’s really gonna make me look bad.”

I may have put too much thought into this

Let’s say that Mr. Hopeful takes you out to dinner. You have a romantic meal, great wine, light conversation, etc. The waiter brings you a complimentary dessert. When you look at the delicious piece of heaven, you see “Will you marry me?” written in chocolate sauce. You begin to hyperventilate because you were caught off guard (yeah…that’s it. You just can’t imagine being married to this guy so you freak the eff out!) Excuse yourself and go to the bathroom to compose yourself. On the way, ask the waiter to prepare the same dessert for Mr. Hopeful, only he should replace the question with your answer.

Just as you’re sneaking out the back door, Mr. Hopeful receives his plate full of “No.”

Great idea for a guide! I’ve always wondered what would happen if someone asked someone else to marry them on a jumbotron at a sporting event and that person said no.

This was one of the most amusing things I’ve read in a long time! I needed a couple of laughs!
