A New Way to lose your wedding ring

Image

After sixteen long years of searching in and out of their kitchen, Swedish couple Lena and Ola Paahlsson who had given up hope finally found their long lost diamond wedding ring in the most unlikely of places. Lena was working in her garden when she noticed a carrot that had an unusual bit of luster sprouting from within it’s top. She uprooted the carrot out of the ground and quickly realized that it was her white-gold band with seven small diamonds, the very one she thought she lost forever in her kitchen during the winter holiday season of 1995.

The whole time Lena believed that the ring might have gone down the drain along with all the other “vegetable peelings” that get turned into compost or fed to their sheep. Despite all failed attempts to recover the ring, including the removal of their kitchen tile – the couple never lost their determination. Theories were thrown around to try to explain the bizarre case of this missing ring – one of which Husband Ola believes it could have fallen into the garden, eaten by one of the sheep then ‘processed’ it’s way back to the ground.
