I proposed in our suite and dropped the ring
Planned everything. Champagne on the balcony at sunset, the ring in my jacket pocket. Got down on one knee and in the process of pulling the ring box out, it slipped from my sweaty hands, bounced off the balcony chair, and rolled toward the drain gap at the edge of the balcony. Time slowed down. My now-fiancee lunged and caught it one-handed like a shortstop. She opened the box herself, said yes, and told me if I ever tried anything that dramatic again she would throw me off the balcony instead. The couple on the next balcony over had been watching the whole thing and started clapping. They sent us a bottle of wine via the steward. We sail with them now every year.
