Amsterdam - A Dutchman's attempt at a
romantic wedding proposal was a smashing
success, but not in the way he had hoped.
The unidentified lover in the central town of
Ijsselstein rented a crane to descend in front of
his girlfriend's bedroom window first thing on
Saturday morning, then to play her a song and
pop her the question. Instead the crane toppled,
smashing a hole in the neighbours’ roof.

According to reports in Algemeen Dagblad, the
girlfriend said "yes" anyway and after speaking
with the police, the pair travelled to Paris to
celebrate their engagement.
Then the crane fell again during attempts to
right it with a larger crane, widening the hole.
The neighbours’ house has been declared
unsafe, and two buildings on either side of it
have been evacuated as well.
