Wedding Ring Found After 20 Years

Tuesday, January 24th, 2012

In a city in Maryland in America, a man found his wedding ring – the one he was married with after twenty years. He had long since given up hope of finding it and then, out of the blue, someone knocked on his door and asked him if he had lost a wedding ring and could he describe it. So he did and the man went away and brought him his wedding ring.
Twenty years ago, Kelly lost his gold wedding ring and even though they looked everywhere, it was nowhere to be found so they just gave it up for lost. He and his wife Sue still live in their home and they were there when a worker asked if they had lost a wedding ring. Apparently he had found it while digging to fix a sign post outside their home, had taken it home and forgotten about it till he passed their home one day. So he decided to try his luck and locate the owner. Once he described the ring, the worker was sure that it belonged to Kelly and went home and got it for him.
This lost and found thing seems to0 run in the family because his mother had lost her wedding ring on their farm many years ago. Then, ten years later when they were ploughing their field, they found her ring. So they seem lucky in that they find what they lose. Kelly is so happy to be able to wear the ring he got married with and the worker is happy that he could join the wedding ring with its rightful owner.

Johnny Weir Wears Wedding Ring

Monday, January 23rd, 2012

On New Year’s Eve, Johnny got married and he now wears a wedding ring. He got married to a lawyer named Victor Voronov and they came together to their press conference as newlyweds for the first time. It was at this press conference that he announced that he was getting back into figure skating on a competitive basis and that he would be very much a part of the 2014 Sochi Olympics.
The diamond wedding ring sparkled on his finger and he flaunted it. It is a gold ring with a band of gold and on either side, there is a row of sparkling diamonds. What a bit of bling for a wedding ring. He happily posed for pictures and made sure the ring was very visible so the media people could get some really great shots of it.
Johnny Weir is a figure skater from America who has been champion for three years nationally and has won third place in the international competitive figure skating championships four years ago, He has won a number of awards and was junior international champion ten years ago. He began to skate when he was twelve and he has been in most of the major tournaments since then. His fans helped an asteroid to be named after him. He came out of the closet a few years ago and is now married and they will both have the surname Weir-Voronov. He has had a book published and has even recorded a single which has been released.

Fan Buys Engagement Ring For Kate Bush

Tuesday, January 17th, 2012

That’s some obsession – that a fan can buy an engagement ring and travel all the way from America to the UK to present it to the object of his affections. Especially when she doesn’t even know of his existence. So why would he spend a lot of money and travel across the Atlantic just to hear her say No? Well that’s what a lot of fan feeling is all about – obsession that goes beyond the realm of reason.
He bought the ring from Tiffany’s and he paid over £3200 for it. It was a gold sapphire and diamond engagement ring and he was determined to go propose to the singer who is known to be a recluse. He also seems to be very enterprising and he got the exact location of her house through Google maps and then proceeded to get there. When he got there, he realised that she was not at home but broke in anyway and decided to wait for her.
Maybe as he waited, it suddenly dawned on him that what he was doing was insane so he ran away in panic and it was while he was running that someone reported him and the police arrested him. He even had his suitcase with him which he was dragging along as he ran. His explanation was that he somehow felt very connected to the singer and he wanted to love and protect her. He has been deported now, back to America and hopefully Kate Bush can heave a sigh of relief.

Panning For Gold For Engagement Ring

Sunday, January 8th, 2012

Setting himself a target, a groom-to-be decided to go to the Highlands and pan for gold to make an engagement ring. 46-year old John Greenwood decided he would pan for the gold himself, thus making it a very special ring. He went every weekend to the rivers around Perthshire where he lived. During the week, he worked as an explosives technician and during the weekends, he spent time panning for that gold.
In three months, he managed to pan 34 g of gold and that was enough not just for an engagement ring but for two wedding bands and maybe more. It must have given him such joy to be able to do this himself. He took the gold he had panned to a jeweller and had some of it set as a diamond engagement ring. Then, on Christmas Day, he asked his girlfriend Morag to marry him. What could she do but accept when he had poured so much love into it?
John Greenwood took up panning a year and a half ago and very often, he had to stand in freezing water while he looked for the gold. He says he just got lucky because very often, it takes people a lot longer to get this much gold. Maybe his love and willpower to do it himself helped him get what he wanted and more in three months. All he used was a rake, a shovel, a trowel and a gold pan. Most gold nuggets are miniscule so it takes a lot of waiting and of course, luck to get enough to make it worthwhile. An official in the panning department said that for some, it could well take thirty years to get what John had managed and all he actually needed was four grams of gold which is what he used to make the engagement ring.

Dog, Not Thief To Blame For Missing Wedding Ring

Saturday, January 7th, 2012

It was very much like a scene out of Marley – only the woman lost her wedding ring and not a chain. Rachelle usually removed her wedding ring every night and put it on her bedside table. One morning when she woke up and looked for her wedding band to put it back on her finger as she always did, it wasn’t there. She looked all over for it but just could not find it. So the obvious explanation was that a thief had somehow gotten in and stolen it.
However, they realised that it seemed a rather bizarre explanation because nothing else had been stolen and there were no traces of a break in. That’s when they suddenly realised that there was one more person who had been in the bedroom with them and that was their dog, a Basset hound who looked very guilty indeed when they asked her about the gold wedding ring.
So they spent a few days watching to see if she passed it out. Not very pleasant but her husband did it without grumbling because he wanted to find that wedding ring as much as his wife did. Then, finally, they took their dog to the vet who decided to put a tube in and get the ring out. The ring had been a little too big for her digestive tract for it to have passed through. Now the ring is back on Rachelle’s finger and all is well – with her, the ring and of course, the dog.

Is That An Engagement Ring On Halle Berry’s Finger?

Friday, January 6th, 2012

For someone who said that she was never going to get married again, it looks like Halle Berry will have to go back on that particular vow. She was spotted wearing a rather large engagement ring on her finger and considering that she and Olivier Martinez have been so close for a while now, it looks like she really is engaged to be married again.
She was married to David Justice first and then to Eric Benet. She was then with Gabriel Aubrey fir five years which was when she had her daughter Nahla. They didn’t get married so if she does now, it will be her third time and who knows, she might get lucky. The ring she had on was an emerald set in gold and she was spotted on the beach on holiday with Olivier and her daughter, Nahla and Olivier get on famously and that perhaps is something that goes strongly in his favour as far as Halle Berry is concerned.
Of course, her spokespeople refuse to comment so one will just have to wait till they make it official. Olivier almost married Kylie Minogue but they split though they still are good friends. So now, it is the Monster’s Ball star that he’s with and who knows, we might hear wedding bells soon. She’s a great catch, of course, the only African American woman to have won Best Actress together with so many more awards.

Is Arnold Schwarzenegger Wearing His Wedding Ring Again?

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012

His wedding ring had been taken off when he and his wife separated but now, Arnold Schwarzenegger looks happy and it could be because his gold wedding ring is back on his finger. He was spotted at an Idaho cafe with the ring back on the finger that has been bare for some months now and according to observers, he was grinning very much like the proverbial Cheshire cat!
He is the former governor of California and of course as everyone knows, before that he was this macho actor who beat everyone up playing the good guy. His Terminator series won him a lot of acclaim. He and Maria Shriver seemed such an unlikely couple but they had a marriage that was the envy of so many and it lasted. Till recently when he was suspected of fooling around with the hired help and the couple separated. They do say there is no fool like an old fool.
Sources say the couple got together over Christmas with their four children and it looks like there must have been some reconciliation efforts. He has always wanted to be in this marriage but she walked out. However, as a Catholic, she does not believe in divorce so maybe they have decided to give their marriage another chance and they are following the vows they took – for better or worse – very seriously indeed.

Wedding Ring Found Around Carrot

Monday, January 2nd, 2012

Lena Paahlsson lost her wedding ring sixteen years ago and even though she looked high and low for it, she hadn’t found it. It was Christmas time and this lady from Sweden had taken off her wedding ring and put it on the counter in the kitchen before she started to bake all the Christmas goodies with her daughters. However, the ring disappeared and they searched everywhere, even pulling up the floorboards but it was all in vain.
The family lives on a farm in the northern part of Sweden and hers was a white gold wedding ring. She had given up all hopes of finding the ring but because they lived away from any place where thieves could have stolen it, it remained a mystery that wasn’t to be solved till a couple of months ago.
The wedding ring came up when she was pulling carrots up from her vegetable garden and she saw that one of the carrots had grown around the ring. What a pleasant surprise that must have been! The mystery is, how did that ring find its way into the garden? The explanation could be that the ring had somehow fallen into the sink and it must have got mixed up with the peels that went into composting the vegetable garden or feeding the sheep. Whichever it was, that ring fell into the garden patch and it had been there, waiting to make its appearance someday. What a lucky carrot that was, to grow through the wedding ring and bring it out again to cheer up the lady. The ring doesn’t fit her now but she’s so thrilled, she is going to have it resized and put back on her finger where it belongs.

No Diamond Engagement Ring But Man Proposes

Wednesday, December 28th, 2011

It wasn’t the engagement proposal Jason from Pelton, County Durham was expecting. He had planned it all so well. He wanted to propose to his girlfriend, Nicola on New Year’s Eve so he went out and bought a beautiful diamond engagement ring and waited for the big day to arrive. But the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.
They went off to visit the family over Christmas and returned home the next day to find that their home had been broken into. The gold and diamond engagement ring had been stolen, even though Jason had hidden it. The receipt for the sale however, had been overlooked by the thieves and it was still there. The whole house had been ransacked and even personal things like Jason’s diary in memory of his brother had been pulled out.
So as they were sitting in the back of a police van, Jason had to tell the policemen just what had been stolen and he had to confess about the engagement ring and ruin the surprise he had so carefully planned. Now that Nicola knew, he proposed to her right there in the van and she got very emotional and accepted. So there was no engagement ring but one happy couple. Jason definitely did not want to propose inside a police van but there was nothing else he could do when the secret of the engagement ring was out. The ring still hasn’t been recovered but there have been a couple of arrests of possible suspects that have been made and the police are hoping for a breakthrough in the case.

An Until I Die Wedding Ring Found In Tunnel Toll Booth

Saturday, December 24th, 2011

It’s a gold wedding ring and it was found in the tunnel booth at Liverpool – in the reject tray actually. The wedding band has an inscription in it – it says Until I Die. So how on earth did it get there? One can only surmise how it did because the person who lost it hasn’t come to claim it yet. Wedding rings are so sentimental for the person who wears them – at least, most of the time. So the staff at the toll booth is hoping that the ring and its owner are reunited before Christmas Day dawns.
So how could it have got there? The simplest explanation is that it must have slipped off when the person was paying the toll. In a hurry maybe, if the ring didn’t fit too well because the person had lost weight or something, it could have slipped off and fallen into the reject tray without anyone noticing. It is obviously a man’s gold wedding ring because it also has the name of a woman inscribed in it as well as a date which was obviously the date on which they were married.
The problem is, the toll payment window is on the right side while wedding rings are worn on the left – so was it really an accident or did the man just put the wedding ring into the reject tray? That gives the whole incident a different hue because then it would mean the person was angry and wanted to get rid of it. It’s all still in the area of surmising and till the man who the ring belongs to is found, one will never know what the true story is. The name of the woman inscribed on the ring and the date are not being broadcast because that would make it easy for the police to ensure that the ring is claimed by the right man.

Gold Wedding Ring And Engagement Ring Found In Salvation Army Christmas Kettle

Wednesday, December 14th, 2011

The Salvation Army had left their red kettles out for the Christmas charity collections. In a town in North Carolina, America, the people who were counting the collection at the end of the day got a surprise. In the kettle with all the coins and notes were a gold wedding ring and an engagement ring. Now who on earth would put in two precious possession into a charity kettle? Or was it a mistake?
Apparently, it was put in knowingly because the two rings were wrapped in a one dollar bill and there was an appraiser’s note stating their value. The gold wedding ring was a 14-carat piece and both the rings were put into a kettle that had been kept near a marketplace.
As there was an appraiser’s notice, the Salvation Army staff called the appraiser and was surprised to know that he had retired fifteen years ago. So the appraisal must have been done a long time ago and it looks like the person who donated the rings wants to stay anonymous. The Salvation Army will honour that and they are going to auction the rings and use the proceeds for charity. Whatever the story is behind those two rings will remain a secret.
