When creativity got in the way...

Today I was watching the Today Show, and this is what I heard: a girl swallowed her engagement ring before her boyfriend could actually propose! They were at Wendy's and he had put the ring inside her milkshake/ice cream, but she accidentally swallowed it because she was eating too fast. How crazy is that?

I am impressed by the guys that think creatively because they want to make their proposal a special day for their girl. They want to make it a day that they won't ever forget. In her case, his creativity got in the way of the proposal. I'm sure she won't ever forget this day; I mean, because of this, she got to be on NBC's Today Show!! But a normal proposal, in a restaurant or somewhere special, would have caused less trouble.

I encourage guys out there that are planning on "popping" the question soon, or sometime in the future, to think creatively. Think of something unexpected, something your girlfriend would like...but also think about her safety :)
