Weddings are beautiful and long-lasting mar- riages are even better. While weddings last only one day, they hold some precious memo- ries and are a really significant part of your life. Couples are faced with trials and hardships every day and, through their love for each other and their trust in God, they perse- vere and push through.
In September of 2004, an 69- year-old woman from Alberta, Canada, named Mary Grams lost her engagement ring while out in
the garden. “I went to the gar- den for some- thing and I saw this long weed. For some reason, I picked it up and it must have caught on some- thing and pulled [the ring] off,” she said.
After relentlessly searching for the ring for weeks and crying over it for days, Grams finally gave up hope and bought herself another ring, similar to the one she lost, in hopes that her husband wouldn’t notice.
Thankfully, that’s not the end of the story. More than 13 years after
she lost the ring, it showed up again. It was her son’s wife that discovered it. “My wife was digging carrots for sup- per, and I guess she came up with
a carrot that had something on it,” said Brian, Mary’s son. The ring was wrapped around a carrot! It looked eerily similar to a chub- by finger with the
circulation cut off.
Gram’s husband Norman had passed away 5 years ago. Now that she’s reunit- ed with her origi- nal ring, she’s
going to make sure that it’s never lost again. “Anything I do outside, I’m going to take it off and it’s going to stay,” said Grams.
