Don Walling brought friends and family to the Brooklyn Bridge last Friday, so they could see him propose to the love of his life, Gina. What started as a real life fairytale moment quickly turned to horror, as you can clearly see on the Port Jeff Station man's face.


 


“I saw it fall and I heard it bounce and then I watched it fall through.” Yep, right after he popped the question, that perfect princess cut diamond ring fell out of the box and plummeted 1 to the street below. "


 


"He finally got your ring, and it fell off the Brooklyn Bridge. What do you have to say?" He stood up, he kissed me, then said "I love you. And I am glad you said yes. But I'm gonna go and get that. “Walling wasn't going to let anything stop him. Not even the cops. The 29-year-old climbed down the side of the bridge and ran with traffic just inches away. The police spotted 2 him in seconds and put him in the back of a patrol car until he told the story.


 


"They really didn't know what to do. I don't think they were ready for me to say that I was going after a ring. So they just, kind of, let me run after it.” “I could hardly see it.” And the proposal did end happily ever after, after all. Walling did retrieve 3 the ring and now has a story for the ages. "I had to get the ring back. Because it was a ring I picked up for her. And I want her to have it forever.” “He’s definitely my hero.”
