JAMUL, CA – OCTOBER 24: A US forestry firefighter cools a burning modular home to protect a nearby structure in Deerhorn Valley as the Harris Fire continues growing beyond 70,000 acres on October 24, 2007 near Jamul, California. Southern California is being ravaged by numerous record wildfires as Santa Ana Wind conditions push them into communities surrounded by native Chaparral habitat that has been dried by the driest rain season since records began 130 years ago. The fires are shaping up to be the worst wildfire event in San Diego County history. As many as 500,000 people have been evacuated from their homes. (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)
Have you ever tried to be so romantic that it backfired on you?
A 26-year-old guy named Albert Ndreu in Yorkshire, England spent the past two weeks planning an elaborate proposal for his girlfriend, Valerija Madevic. And his plan included putting more than 60 balloons and 100 candles around the living room in their apartment. So he lit all the candles, then went out to get Valerija and bring her home to propose. But when they got there, the apartment was ON FIRE and the fire department was rushing over to put it out. No one was hurt, but the apartment was completely destroyed. On the bright side, Valerija still said yes.
