Sichuan man’s marriage proposal turned down because his engagement ring is too small

An elaborate wedding proposal by a man from Sichuan province ended up a failure after the girlfriend was unsatisfied with the wedding ring he offered her.

According to NetEase, a few nights ago the boyfriend arranged a proposal “flash mob” on a street in Chengdu. After the dancers finished their routine and he knelt down to make the proposal, his girlfriend was so touched that she began to cry.

However, much to her disappointment the engagement ring was less than one carat in size. On seeing that the ring was not to her satisfaction, she turned around and left the scene without saying a word.
A screenshot of a WeChat conversation allegedly between her and a friend was later leaked online.

In it the girlfriend says, “But he agreed to buy me a diamond ring as large as one carat. Why was this one so small? Is he so careless or has he ever cared about me?”
Her friend replies, “Don’t worry. Perhaps the bigger one will be waiting for you later or he hasn’t prepared it this time.”
There have been some pretty extravagant wedding proposals seen in recent months, like this man from Wuhan who created a sand sculpture of his girlfriend before popping the question. Then there was the tuhao who proposed using a collection of luxury cars which he had arranged in a heart shape.
