Diamond Engagement Proposals May Require a Pre-Nup-Nup!
Hey guys! Wanna get engaged? Wanna make sure she says YES!!
Before you speak to her Pop and get down on bended knee, you may want to get it in Writing.
That's because a jilted lover wants back the engagement ring that he gave his fiancée? William Christopher Thompson filed in Santa Fe County court (New Mexico) to do just that. Thompson served his bride-to-be, Rodina Lucero, a chocolate cake with the ring embedded.
Lucero accepted at first, which according to court papers was the second time, but the following day she broke-off the engagement and refused to return the 18-karat gold 1.5 carat Marquise diamond ring.
Thompson's attorney, Ernest L. Padilla, wrote that Lucero accepted the engagement ring under false pretenses in an effort to defraud Thompson of the ring. Padilla argues that the ring was a conditional gift and in order to keep the ring Lucero must marry first.
Thompson is asking the court to award him the return of the ring or ask Lucero for the ring's fair market value.
He's from Mars; she's from Venus. Or is it the other way around?
