A RING AND A PRAYER

Roy Williams, wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys, is suing his ex-girlfriend to retrieve the $76K engagement ring that he gave her that she will not return.  Now while litigation in a scenario like this is rare, it is not uncommon for a man to request the ring back after an engagement goes south.  Especially one that carries such a hefty price tag.  And usually I would be completely on the side of the man trying to recover the ring.  Not this time.

I may never blog about relationships ever again but this was just to juicy to leave alone.  Turns out that Roy, intelligent and fantastically romantic suitor that he is, mailed the ring to what he hoped what be his bride to be.  Yes you read correctly, HE MAILED IT TO HER.  He videotaped his proposal and mailed that as well.  The decision to do both of these things probably put him at the top of the "ways to not propose" list.  This makes the guy who proposes on the video board, of  the local sporting event of your choice, look like Richard Gere in Pretty Woman climbing the fire escape to propose to Julia Roberts.

Gentlemen, and ladies, out there who may be considering a proposal, remember the lesson taught to us by Roy Williams.  Don't half ass it.  Use your whole ass!  Keep this in mind and maybe, just maybe, she'll say yes.  You'll also save yourself from paying for postage and a lawyer.
