Ok, new wedding story...
Today, coming back from picking up lunch... driving down road.
My finger with the wedding band has been getting all beat up trying to get used to the ring... Well... I took it off half way to let my finger chill in the air.
I honestly even thought about, what if I dropped this thing?
Well, guess what happened!? I'm driving about 33 mph and there goes the ring on a back road (Liberty Ln.)
BANG! I punch the brakes and almost slam a phone pole... I'm all parked diagnal on the side of the road... and need to find that ring! I'm going nuts walking up and back... There is a woman walking towards me on the road now... and I say (sheepishly!) 'hello'.
She asks me what I am looking for...
'I don't want to say'. I say with a half smile frown.... and tell her what I am really looking for.
She sticks around and looks a bit, and continues on her walk.
Next my UPS guy is driving by and he stops....
'What are you doing'?
I don't want to say!
'Did you lose something'?
Yes....... (sheepish)
'Your wallet'??????
NO, MY WEDDING BAND! Don't tell anyone at work!
He's all like, 'man, that sucks'!
I KNOW!!!!
So, next the lady comes back... I am still looking. This is about 30 minutes into my ring quest.
We are talking about how it might have bounced... it is not this far back I am sure. Must be on this side of the road.... I got thinking about how I look for a golf ball...
I never find it til I give up.
So... I gave up.
I started to walk back to my car, and just as I am turning my head.....
There it is about 2 feet into the dirt at the side of the road....
That lady is still with me, and I say......
'Would you like to see my ring'?!
She says, 'NO WAY!? You found it'?
I said 'yup'!
Where is it?
I tell her to come here and say, 'right in front of me....'
She still did not see it... so I pointed it out...
Just a small round hunk of gold there on the side of the road.......
Fun, fun fun.

Something good to laugh about. When I started the story she reached for her heart... so I tapped the ring so she knew I got it back...
Very scary story... just glad I found it!

Congratulations on your wedding🙂
Was it your choice to have a wedding ring? - I was not sure for a long time whether to have one or not - my Father hasn't nor my Father-in-Law or my Sister's husband - in the end however I decided I would like to wear one. Not really too sure why but mainly because I didn't have anything against wearing one
Thanx Shavix, I was very scared!
Wow, now wedding band? Never heard of such a thing.... guess it can happen.
As for us, we also have the top of the cake in the freezer, so we can eat a bite on our one year anniversary....
Yuk! I don’t even much care for fresh cake, but I guess we gots to do it.

Originally posted by PhlabibitI'm guessing this was your wifes idea? Lol. Why not just go out and buy a new cake that looks similar to the old one?

Or even better, buy a dog and say he ate through the freezers wiring. 😀 Everything inside will spoil but at least you won't have to eat stale cake.

Congrats on the ring find!
Years ago, on holiday, my Dad suddely woke up with the realisation that he didn't have his ring at 4am. Wracking his brain he remembered taking it off to help us kids build a sand alligator at the beach and didn't remember putting it back on.
He silently pulled on a few clothes and left the campsite for the beach, getting there just as dawn was breaking. The tide had been in and out, the beach was about a mile long (and quite wide).
He hadn't brought a coat and a cold wind was blowing. He hopelessly plodded along the beach getting colder and colder and was about to give up. The beach had been packed with people when he'd been there yesterday and there was no way of telling where we had sat, just various humps and bumps in the sand.
Suddenly he realised the low hump he was looking at could be the remains of the massive sand alligator he had helped us make the day before, perhaps so big that it hadn't been completely obliterated by the tide. When he walked towards it he noticed a microscopic fleck of gold in the sand at his feet. His ring!

Father told me a similar story about his friend. They went crusing to the next state for a picnic, and took a walk on a power line. The woman had taken her ring off and had it in her lap when she got out.
Went home... next day realized what MIGHT have happened.
They went all the way back the next day and sifted through the sand where they had parked. There it was! Poor ring spent the night alone!

I told my wife long before any marriage was on the cards that I am not a jewellery kind of guy, and I am not wearing a ring, whatever. (The extra weight could slow my typing, right?😉) She then suggested I get a tattoo around my finger instead. I politely refused.
So no danger of any accidents for me - I couldn't cope with the responsibility anyway...

You could always get it put through your nose.
