Sep.25.2007 Nothing more romantic than a mugging
Nothing is more magical than the moment in which you pop the question to the woman you love. The sky’s blue, the grass is green, and the muggings are plentiful.
For richer, for poorer? It’ll have to be for poorer after Luke Jacunski and his girlfriend were robbed at gunpoint just seconds after he proposed.
Jacunski got on one knee and popped the question to his girlfriend of six months, Mami Nagase, in a romantic spot at a gazebo in Central Park on Saturday night. She had just agreed to marry him when, they said, a gunman jumped from the bushes and yelled, “Give me your money and get on the ground!”
As Jacunski, 30, and Nagase, 24, got on the ground, he was able to slip the engagement ring off her finger and hide it in his pocket.
The robber took a Rolex watch from Nagase and $125 from Jacunski, who had planned to use it to pay for a romantic dinner at a French restaurant. The robber then ran away.
Wait I’m supposed to feel bad for this chick with her Rolex and fancy French dinner? And her shifty engagement ring trickery? He should have mugged them, then pistol whipped Luke just to teach her a lesson.
On the plus side, there’s nowhere for the relationship to go but up for Mami. When you get mugged and, I assume, your future husband was forcibly sodomized at gunpoint, your husband could literally be taking craps in the garbage can and you’d find it to be the most charming thing you’ve seen in years. That’s how the best relationships are built: lowered standards.
