A stranger saved the day after a newly engaged woman lost her ring in the ocean.

A wedding is a big, life-changing step for every couple and their families. Marriage is a beautiful institution. It’s a step that should not be taken lightly but only entered into after much thought, consideration and prayer.

Before a couple can be announced as husband and wife, and following all the thought and prayer needed to determine if marriage is the right step, something else will have to occur. It involves a marriage proposal, or “popping the question,” as it’s commonly called.

Every couple wants their proposal to be unique and memorable, something they can tell their children and grandchildren. For Katie Nicholson and Steve Frank, that moment will be one they will never forget.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Steve and Katie are on the beach, with the ocean right behind them, both dressed in white. Steve gets down on one knee, pulls out a ring and asks for Katie to be his wife. She responds, “Yes,” and the happy couple commemorates the special moment by hopping into the ocean behind them.

But they soon realized there was one huge, costly problem. Katie had lost her ring, the one Steve had just given her, in the ocean. Steve, Katie and others on the beach frantically searched the water for the diamond ring. Things were not looking good for the engaged couple.

However, a stranger showed up 20 minutes after the search started and mentioned that he had just come across a ring. He asked if they were looking for the expensive piece of jewelry. Amazingly, it was Katie’s engagement ring.

What an amazing engagement story that Katie and Steve will undoubtedly remember for the rest of their lives!
