Pittsburgh Airport Workers Find Passenger’s Lost Diamond

Thank god for insurance, but it is still scary to lose your engagement ring because a person's wedding rings are priceless to the couple they belong to.

According to UPI, after flying into Pittsburgh International Airport from Las Vegas, Kristen and Brett Tunno were driving out of the airport in their car when she noticed the middle diamond was missing from her ring. The special ring had been given to Kristen by her 99-year-old grandmother, so she was desperate to find the missing gemstone.

Although they couldn’t be sure where along their trip the diamond had gone missing, Brett filed a missing property report with the airport, but he didn’t hold out much hope that the small diamond would be found. The next morning, airport employee April Laukaitis arrived to work early and saw the Tunno’s report. Searching based on the couple’s path through the airport, she miraculously located the diamond in a bathroom.

Laukaitis immediately reached out to information desk attendant Sharon Barley, who just so happened to be on the phone with Brett Tunno at that moment. Kristen expressed immense gratitude to the employees who searched for her diamond, stating it was remarkable they found it against such odds. She says the experience has provided a special memory that she can share with her grandmother.

Mine and my wife's engagement almost went awry.  I thought I'd be smooth and take my Jeep on a trail in the Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee.  I had no idea what I was doing.  I just wanted to find a beautiful view of the mountains and propose to my wife.  As we were losing light I was getting nervous.  We decided to go hiking on a nature trail.  That's when I found a perfect little tree stump to put her on, I got down on one knee and asked her to marry me.  As soon as I slid the ring on her finger a guy came walking out of the woods towards us with a chainsaw.  We certainly didn't know what we were looking at.  He congratulated us and kept on moving.

I've never met a couple whose engagement has gone exactly the way they planned it.  Things get especially risky if you involve the elements like an ocean, lake, or mountain.  I've never thought putting a ring in food or a drink was ever a good idea.  However, if you can get through an awkward engagement and laugh about it, you can get through life together as a married couple.  At the same time, if an engagement goes completely off the rails then maybe it just wasn't meant to be.  If you're planning on getting engaged or will be soon good luck and don't forget to buy that ring insurance.

Check out these hilarious and awkward engagements below!  The first one came after a guy finished running a marathon.  He started to cramp up as he got down on one knee.  They had to rub his cramps out while he was lying flat on the ground.  His girlfriend waited patiently and he eventually got up and proposed.
