Yesterday, China celebrated ‘Singles Day’ – a sort of opposite to Valentines Day to celebrate those who are single. however, one Chinese man used the occasion to announce that he never wants to be single again – he did this by proposing to his girlfriend.
The man bought 99 iPhone 6s, arranging them in the shape of a heart in the street as he asked his girlfriend to marry him. Despite spending $105,527.92 on the iPhones (more than 2 years salary!), the man’s girlfriend said no in front of all their friends.
Not sure what she was meant to do with 99 iPhones, but I guess even almost 100 of the most popular electronic device can’t buy you love!

I will take the spears
That’s so sad why would she say no. Hopefully that guy gets a refund or other people want to buy them. STILL CAN’T BELIEVE SHE SAID NO. Although I guess she said no because she didn’t want to spend the rest of her life with him. Still feel really bad though.
Thats so sad
