Gone with the wind…
According to an article that appeared in British tabloid “The Sun” yesterday, a romantic proposal plan by a British guy vanished into thin air, after a balloon containing an expensive diamond ring was blown away.
The guy, Lefkos Hajji, asked his florist to put his $12,000 engagement-ring inside a balloon. His plan was to give her girlfriend a pin to “pop” the ring out. Well, it didn’t quite work out that way. After he left the florist shop, a gust pulled his balloon from his hand…
Lefkos said: “I couldn’t believe it… I just watched as it went further and further into the air. I felt like such a plonker. It cost a fortune and I knew my girlfriend would kill me.â€
According to him, his girlfriend isn’t talking to him ever since.

I was wondering, though, what if this happened to us, or any florist in America for that matter? I think there’s a good chance that we would end up in a court. Are we supposed to refuse a potentially risky request from a customer? What if he insists? Do we have to ask the customer to sign a paper saying that we aren’t responsible for the consequence? Food for thoughts…

thats not the fault of the florist. and if his girlfriend isn’t talking to him thats rather unfortunate, after all, he was only trying to be sweet, why condemn him over material possession
