FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Aug. 27 (UPI) -- A Fort Lauderdale woman scanning the eBay auction Web site for rings found one with a proposal attached.
Natalie Thilem, 24, was having a cup of coffee with her boyfriend, Shane Bushman, while cruising the online auction site. She came upon a heart-shaped diamond engagement ring with a starting bid $75,000, the Miami Herald reported Wednesday.
"I told Shane I had to see what a $75,000 ring looked like," said Thilem, 24.
"Bear in mind," said the description, "this auction doesn't only include this ring ... It also includes the eternal love and devotion of the seller ... in marriage.
"So ... Natalie . . . Will you marry me?'"
Thilem gasped and turned to Bushman, who had the ring in his hand.
"As soon as I said yes, he put the ring on my finger," Thilem said.
The eBay listing, still posted, has attracted more than 10,000 visitors.

Well if it was a stunt it got a lot of attention.
Maybe even a movie contract. Did you watch Do you want to Marry my Dad? Well one of the daughters of the gentleman has a contract to play on Passions. I guess anything is worth a try.

A stunt like getting married on a roller coaster or on the bottom of a swimming pool. Ebay canceled the original listing as a breach of rules.
