A SKYDIVING enthusiast decided to pop the question to his girlfriend at 12,500ft - but blundered by DROPPING the ring. Firefighter Brandon Strohbehn and partner Nicole, who live in Oceanside, California, USA, made the jump at Skydive San Diego. Nicole had no idea what was coming as the pair leapt from the plane in what is referred to as a "Mr. Bill" exit - with Nicole holding on to Brandon's harness as he opened his parachute. On the way down Brandon, who works for Orange County Fire Authority in Southern California, produced a ring. But disaster appeared to strike when it slipped from his grasp and plummeted through the air. Luckily though, it was all just part of his dastardly plan. The dropped ring was only a fake, with the real wedding band waiting for Nicole down on the ground, as friends and family - secretly smuggled into the site by Brandon's brother - cheered them on.
