After a troubled turtle was saved by a kind couple while strolling along the beach, a misplaced engagement ring was found in the most unexpected way.
Two people who are incredibly in love—Mary and Peter, and the ocean—met a turtle that looked to be dead and was coated in filth and insects. Peter felt helpless and chose to console the turtle as they waited for the animal rescue crew. During this endeavor, he became aware of something shiny—a diamond ring with a tiny ribbon attached—on the turtle’s back.
The couple raced to an animal hospital with the turtle in tow, their curiosity and amazement evident. They were told both good and bad news there. Despite its injuries, the turtle would fully heal, but it couldn’t go back into the wild right away. The veterinarian thanked the pair for their thoughtful acts in saving the turtle and expressed gratitude for their compassion.
The vet shocked Peter and Mary with a little box just when they thought the strange story could become any more crazy. There was the exact engagement ring that Peter had misplaced months prior during an unsuccessful attempt at a beachside proposal. Emotionally charged, Peter grabbed the opportunity, dropped down on one knee, and proposed to Mary in the hospital waiting area.
A typical beach walk was transformed into a tale of love, compassion, and a turtle that unexpectedly helped to bring two people together by a miraculous turn of events. The couple, who are now engaged, will always be able to regale others with their extraordinary story of the ring that made its way back, all because of the most improbable messenger—a tough and resilient turtle.
