Now, imagine the day comes and that wedding ring falls in the water just feet away from where you’re about to propose.

Proposal fail goes viral on TikTok
On June 17, Ross Bamber shared his side of the proposal on TikTok.
In the video, he showed that he lit candles and had the ring in his pocket. “The setting is perfect, this cant goes wrong now. Home straight,” the video said.
However, as soon as he opened the ring box and went to get down on one knee… the ring fell into the water. According to BBC, Bamber and his friends put on their swimming shorts and goggles in an attempt to find the ring but were unsuccessful.
