Ha! I heard about this on the radio this morning and had to share -
Ananova:
A Chinese woman passed out after accidentally swallowing an engagement ring her boyfriend had hidden in a cake.
Mr Chen, of Xinyan Town, Fuqing City, said he was inspired by romantic movies in which leading men hid rings in cakes and gave them to their girlfriends.
"I imagined the surprise on her face, mixed with happiness," he regretfully told the Southeast Morning Post.
Instead, his girlfriend Wen fainted when she saw Chen get down on one knee.
"I realised I had just swallowed the ring with a full mouth of cake," she said
Chen called the police, who immediately sent Wen to hospital. Doctors used a catheter to retrieve the ring from her stomach.
On waking up, Wen accepted Chen's marriage proposal.
