We've all heard the stories of marriage proposals gone horribly wrong.
Like the guy who arranged for a hot air balloon ride and watched the ring plummet to the ground just as he was about to propose...The guy who thought it would be romantic to ask for her hand while boating, only to have to ring sink to the bottom of the lake before she could say yes...The guy who proposed on the beach and wound up digging and digging for the diamond ring that was never found.
If you're thinking of proposing soon, here are 10 tips to help you keep the ring safe from the store to the proposal.
- Do let the jeweler hold onto the ring until you're ready to propose.
- Do insure the ring immediately. If something does happen to it, you'll be covered and it won't mean money down the drain.
- Do keep the ring in the box and store it some place safe in your home..
- Do stay grounded. If you do happen to drop the ring, you can more easily recover it on dry land than from the air or water.
- Don't put the ring in checked luggage which can be lost or stolen. Place the ring in your carry on bag instead.
- Do use the hotel's front desk safe if you are traveling. The room safe can more easily be broken into.
- Don't propose on the beach. Rings can too easily get lost in the sand.
- Don't propose anywhere you have unstable footing (boat, amusement park ride, parachuting, etc.).
- Don't propose in overly crowded areas where the ring could get bumped out of your hand or snatched by a passerby.
- Don't put the ring in food. It could get lost or, worse yet, swallowed or choked on. Don't end up on an emergency trip to the ER!
