Yet I guess some guys have all the luck<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Seconds after a man popped the question to his sweetheart in Central Park, a gunman sprang from the bushes and robbed the couple but at leat they saved the ring.<\/p>\n

Luke Jacunski, 30, had picked a romantic setting to propose to his girlfriend of six months — the gazebo off Strawberry Fields in Central Park.<\/p>\n

So at about 8:30 p.m. Saturday, he asked his intended, Mami Nagase, to accompany him on a stroll in the park.<\/p>\n

He got down on his knee, and the 24-year-old artist had just accepted — when they were confronted by an armed man.<\/p>\n

It clearly wasn’t Cupid — he was carrying a gun, not a bow and arrow.<\/p>\n

“He shouted, ‘Give me your money and get down on the ground! Give me your jewelry!'” said Jacunski, a musician.<\/p>\n

As the couple complied — the second trip to the ground that night for Jacunski — he managed to slip the silver engagement ring off of his fianc\u00c3\u00a9e’s finger.<\/p>\n

The move caught the mugger’s eye, and he demanded, “What are you doing?”<\/p>\n

Jacunski played dumb and replied, “What are you talking about?” as he slid the band under his arm.<\/p>\n

The engagement crasher stuck his silver gun into Jacunski’s stomach and ordered him to roll over, but Jacunski still managed to hide the ring.<\/p>\n

After warning the couple, “Don’t look at me! Don’t look at me!” the thug grabbed other jewelry off of Nagase’s fingers, a family-heirloom Rolex watch from her wrist, and $125 from Jacunski, which he had been planning to spend on dinner.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
