Oh no! Watch what happens when this little girl's role in her dad's marriage proposal goes horribly wrong!

Marriage proposals are one of the most memorable things that can happen in our lives. They're a time when we're feeling incredibly vulnerable and exposed, and yet also incredibly loved and cherished. It's no wonder that so many of us remember every single detail of how our proposals went down.

For some of us, the proposal is a total surprise. Our partners have planned everything out perfectly, and we're left feeling totally caught off guard (in the best possible way).

For others, we may have had a sneaking suspicion that a proposal was coming, and so the moment is all the more special for being exactly what we expected.

Regardless, we're sure many of our members experienced planning or getting proposed to and it's always a relief when things go smoothly and the engagement gets finalised.



While not all proposals lead to a happy ending (e.g. someone rejecting the marriage offer), some become memorable for all the wrong reasons...

Such has been the story of one Brisbane father who was compelled to jump into the ocean after losing the engagement ring mid-proposal.

Soon-to-be groom Luke Aukuso made the unfortunate choice to involve his daughter Harpie in the momentous occasion on a charming Brisbane pier.

A video captured the crucial moment when he proposes to his partner and the little girl starts to open the ring box.

'Look at mummy,' Luke says in the video.

The beautiful scene transforms in a split second as the ring falls from the box as the three family members look on in astonishment.

The trio scream: 'Arghh, oh no!'



As the diamond ring tumbles through the crevices and into the water below, the startled father frantically clings to the pier.

He rushes into action, kicking off his thongs and appearing to dive into the water below as he watches the unquestionably expensive piece of jewellery plummet into the depths.

The person behind the camera yells at Luke and tells him that he 'can’t jump, it’s too shallow’.

Fortunately, Luke was able to salvage the diamond ring from being lost forever, according to his fiancée Stephanie.

She shared: 'It was a 6m jump into about 1m of water on low tide, adrenaline hit him hard. Everything turned out perfect.'

A marriage proposal is a moment that we'll never forget. It's a time when we feel deeply loved and supported, and when we know that we're committing to spending our lives with someone who means the world to us.



Congratulations to Luke and Stephanie! We hope their future married life will be the opposite of the chaotic moment that happened during their engagement.

How lucky was that, finding that ring.

I was involved in my daughter being proposed too.

My daughter told her now fiance that she had two request when he proposes
1. He has to ask her dad.

2. It has to be done in front of her immediate family. For those that don't know her immediate family consist of me , her dad and 13 brothers n sisters.

For over a year she kept suspecting a proposal whenever we had a BBQ ect.

Her sister was asking her soon to be fiance to be Godfather, they were going to dinner at The Star to ask him and my daughter wanted it to be kept a secret until then.

Her soon to be fiance already knew he was going to be Godfather but let his wife to be believe he didn't know.

He booked the penthouse suit at the star.

On the night we all went to the penthouse and decorated, lights, rose petals and red n white balloons on the ceiling 🎈 and a bonus was the great view of Sydney Harbour

After dinner and fiance being asked to be Godfather the parents of the child , said they booked a room and did they want to go up for drinks to celebrate. This was a normal thing for my other daughter and son inlaw.

As they walked in the room , she straight away saw the lights , rose petals and sigh saying will you marry me. She turned around to see him on one knee. Then she spotted all of us.

And of course she said YES

I wished I could have put the video up

My husband asked my Dad for my hand and was told tongue in cheek that my Bride price was a bag of sugar and a pound of tea! This was duly supplied and when we were laughing about it and pouring the sugar into the bowl something tinkled, it was my ring!!:)
 
My Mum lost her engagement ring while on holiday in a little cottage so Dad bought her a new one. 23 years later the cottage owner was doing renovations and found the ring behind a shelf in the pantry, so she ended up with two rings.
