MAN PROPOSES WITH CANDLES, BURNS APARTMENT

Albert Ndreu of Sheffield, England, spent four hours on Monday setting up 60 balloons and lighting 100 tea candles inside his apartment to pop the question to his girlfriend Valerija Madevic. The candles spelled out, “MARRY ME?” After setting everything up, he left to pick her up. When they returned, smoke was billowing out of their apartment. They called the fire department; there was only moderate damage to the place. Despite some pretty bad damage to their living room, Ndreu, 26, got down on one knee and popped the question. She said yes.
* “Yes, I’ll marry you, you flaming idiot.”
* Most people don’t want to marry someone who smokes.
* He’s so hot for her.
* Tea candles are pretty wimpy, but when they gang up, look out!
* PHONE TOPIC: The proposal did not go as planned.
