2. MAN CREATES GO FUND ME PAGE FOR ENGAGEMENT RING

This is an interesting and creative way to get the funds for an engagement ring. A man named Ken Mack had found the love of his life and was ready to propose – the only problem was that he didn’t have the money to buy an engagement ring.So he created a Go Fund Me page in hopes of getting enough money to buy a ring. On the page he wrote:““I meet a beautiful young lady and I feel if I don’t make her an honest women and wife here quick she may not become whole so I’m asking for help with an ENGAGEMENT RING.”His goal was to raise $5000 to purchase a ring. But, it didn’t quite work out as he had planned. The story went viral and became a joke that has been circulating online. He has since removed the page. Perhaps he should have entered our #helpmewinthering contest!Read the full story: http://www.vibe.com/2016/02/go-fund-me-page-engagement-ring/
