A shopping centre worker thought her boyfriend had made the most expensive mistake of his life – when he dropped her engagement ring over the side of a boat. Pash Canby, aged 30, got down on one knee to propose to Natalie Ripley while they were sailing in a lagoon in Thailand. As Pash prepared to place the ring on 28-year-old Natalie's finger, it slipped out of his hand and into the water. After pausing for dramatic effect, Pash revealed he had the real £2,000 ring stashed away in his pocket all along.
