Brooklyn Bridge Proposal Goes Terribly Wrong (Almost)

Posted on Mar 03, 2010. 0 comments

Lesson learned: never propose on a bridge. Picture this: Man gets down on one knee to propose to his girlfriend on the pedestrian walkway at the Brooklyn Bridge. Skyline, sunshine, the whole bit. Romantic right? Not for this poor fellow. He fumbled the bauble! He ALMOST watched what very-well-could-be his life savings, slip through the cracks and fall into oblivion, also known as the East River. But Don Walling wasn't giving up. In a move that could only be described as Spiderman-eske, he heroically shimmied down to the lower bridge (giving the police quite a scare),and found the tiny diamond. She said yes and the couple will marry April 24, 2010. Looks like Walling will need those groomsmen gifts after all! That's one of the best proposal stories we've ever heard. Ready?
