Maybe God tossed the ring over the side in an attempt to prevent them wedding

@Alecto

Did he renew the vows and reintroduce all the lost socks to their widowed counterparts?

My aunt lost her engagement ring years ago. Looked everywhere for it never found it. Then one day the dryer broke. My uncle took it apart and along with a million pairs of mismatched socks he found her lost engagement ring.

Much better way to lose a ring than the guy who dropped it through the cracks in the Brooklyn bridge foot path last year.

"Forever to afford one." Ahhh another sucker to the blood diamond industry, a rock that isn't that precious and that people are butchered and killed for all for the shallowness of American women and the dumb sheep men who both think a shiny common object with a completely fictionalized value = love or happiness.

@Bill

Just goes to show how popular gods are around here. Oh look, a random deity has coincidently left a penny on the ground beside my chair, how fortunate of me. If anything is to blame it would be love since it makes guys do stupid things like propose to a woman on a windy bridge, or 500 feet above the ground without thinking of the consequences of mishandling an expensive piece of metal due to shaky anxious hands.

Wow, you guys really know how to take the piss out of this guy on an internet thread for believing in God and dropping/finding the engagement ring he bought for his girlfriend. Good job!

What a butter fingered twat.

For his wife's sake, I hope he's not as clumsy in bed.

Sex before marriage weeds out the no hopers.

"... I never thought in a million years we'd find it, that was truly God. It really was."

Meanwhile, a blind diamond mine worker, age 12, fell down a shaft and starved to death because it would cost too much to rescue her.

Oh, and it should be "Dick Russ and Rob Jennings of USA Today HAVE the story".

USA Today is not the subject in that sentence.

If I were God, I would have moved it.

If you read the story he eventually finds the ring after 7 days of searching and they credits "god" finding it. Who made him drop it then? "I just kept looking at it," Bostic says. "It was so beautiful. It was perfect. It was everything that I wanted. And that we found it, and I never thought in a million years we'd find it, that was truly God. It really was."
