But Do You Really Want To Marry A Guy Who Brings You Into Central Park At Night?
Yet I guess some guys have all the luck:
Posted: September 24th, 2007 | Filed under: Just HorribleSeconds after a man popped the question to his sweetheart in Central Park, a gunman sprang from the bushes and robbed the couple but at leat they saved the ring.
Luke Jacunski, 30, had picked a romantic setting to propose to his girlfriend of six months — the gazebo off Strawberry Fields in Central Park.
So at about 8:30 p.m. Saturday, he asked his intended, Mami Nagase, to accompany him on a stroll in the park.
He got down on his knee, and the 24-year-old artist had just accepted — when they were confronted by an armed man.
It clearly wasn’t Cupid — he was carrying a gun, not a bow and arrow.
“He shouted, ‘Give me your money and get down on the ground! Give me your jewelry!'” said Jacunski, a musician.
As the couple complied — the second trip to the ground that night for Jacunski — he managed to slip the silver engagement ring off of his fiancée’s finger.
The move caught the mugger’s eye, and he demanded, “What are you doing?”
Jacunski played dumb and replied, “What are you talking about?” as he slid the band under his arm.
The engagement crasher stuck his silver gun into Jacunski’s stomach and ordered him to roll over, but Jacunski still managed to hide the ring.
After warning the couple, “Don’t look at me! Don’t look at me!” the thug grabbed other jewelry off of Nagase’s fingers, a family-heirloom Rolex watch from her wrist, and $125 from Jacunski, which he had been planning to spend on dinner.
