A video of an American man failing to propose to his girlfriend, after unintentionally dropping the ring down a waterfall, has gone viral.
The footage, captured in La Plata County, Colorado shows the man kneeing down to propose to his girlfriend when suddenly the ring falls into the water.
The ring is lost, but while he'll have to shell out for another, at least she says yes:

Andrew Schuhmann, the groom-to-be told, Newsflare: "Caught up with the beauty of the area, I hastily created the whole plan, getting greedy and wanting a waterfall in the shot.
"I would tell her that I wanted a picture of us jumping off the smaller falls, he would take the picture/video.
"I would keep the ring on my pinky finger, my hand in a fist the whole time to ensure it would not slip off, and to keep it hidden."
This forced him to propose without the ring.

He continues: "So we waded out and prepared to jump, but when the moment came, I guess I got nervous, and as I dropped to my knee and brought up my hand with the ring to ask the question, the ring was gone!
"In my panic, I told her 'I just dropped the ring!'
"Not knowing what else to do, I asked in a rushed, desperate manner, 'Uh, will you marry me?'
"Thankfully, she said 'Yes.'"

Although bullshit has been called on the video because - let's face it - it looks fake as fuck, Andrew insists the mishap did really happened and that the ordeal was so traumatic that he cried afterwards.
Apparently, they spent the next three hours searching in the water for the ring.
Andrew said: "I had to leave after getting out of the water to go cry behind a rock.
"We took turns consoling each other in the days after, and decided to tell our parents and friends, which made it real."

Let's hope the rest of your lives together isn't filled with any more blunders.
