		<description><![CDATA[Sad story on Yahoo! News:
Honey, will you marry&#8230; Oh. Never mind&#8230;
&#8220;It is the one moment every man wants to get right &#8212; and which London floor-fitter Lefkos Hajji could hardly have got more wrong.
The luckless 28 year-old&#8217;s dreams of giving his sweetheart, Leanne, 26, the ultimate proposal have literally vanished into thin air.

That equal rights for women should preclude an inequitable engagement ring. The ring has a disproportionate financial cost to what the man receives.
Hmmm  I always laugh at anyoneâ€™s demand that things should [...]]]></description>

Good to see jewelry designers Gabriel Gelin and Sam Abaci have a sense of humor. Was hard for me to watch the ring bounce on the concrete, I must admit  
The video is after the jump.
