Ring Around the ... Owl

"I was ecstatic when my boyfriend of three years proposed. He took me out to dinner, and the actual proposal was really emotional and touching. Even better: He invested in a serious rock for me. When he went to slip it on my finger, it was a little small, but I was so excited that I forced it on. Within an hour, nay finger had swollen to twice its normal size, and the ring wouldn't come off. When my finger turned blue, my fiance dragged me to the emergency room. The doctor took one look and said he would have to cut off the ring. I cried the entire time. Luckily, we were able to get a bigger band for file diamond the following week."--Samantha, 27

Lovesick

"I love my girlfriend and knew she was The One. But for some reason, I got nervous whenever I thought of asking her. Finally, I decided to put nay fears aside and just do it. One night, I asked her to go on a walk with me, and then I got down on one knee. I blurted out the question, and she said yes and started crying. All die emotion mid nervousness got the best of me because as she was jumping up and down, I bent over and threw up. We have been married for a year and can laugh about it now, but it was a sore subject for quite some time."--Eddie, 29

Altarnate Plans

"I wanted to ask nay girl to marry me at 12:01 a.m. on her birthday. Weeks in advance, I let her sister, Lisa, know my plan and told her to expect an excited phone call shortly "after I popped the question. The day before my girlfriend's birthday, I went to pick up the ring from the jeweler. I was bummed when they told me it wasn't ready yet and decided to postpone asking her. That night, she and I still went out, and when I went to the bathroom, nay girlfriend happened to call her sister, who picked up and screamed "Congrats, bride-to-be!' I had forgotten to fill Lisa in on the change of plans, and the surprise was totally ruined."--Tim, 32
