Couple Reunited With Wedding Ring Lost In Hawaii Thanks To GPS Coordinates

They say love always finds a way.

In early July, while Brandon and Megan Schumacher were lounging on the beach during their honeymoon on the Hawaiian island of Maui, Brandon took off his brand-new wedding ring for safekeeping.

I took my ring off to put it in the nosepiece of my goggles because I was tired of getting sunscreen caked on it,” Schumacher told ABC News. Some time later, he looked down at his finger only to realize he had completely forgotten about the wedding band.

“I started to mess with my GoPro, got distracted and walked out to the water, and the next thing I know an hour had passed and the ring was gone,” he told KMBC 9 News.

The couple searched the sand and sea to find the missing ring, even flagging down a man with a metal detector to help them look. But after hours of searching, they came up empty-handed.

After checking local pawn shops and filing a police report, the couple’s hopeless search was forced to an end when they flew home to Kansas. The couple accepted fate, and Megan even ordered a replacement ring.

The ring could have been lost on the island if it weren’t for a very important set of numbers inscribed on its interior: The GPS coordinates of the church where the couple wed.

Two weeks after the Schumachers’ return home, they received an email from their church telling them that an Oregon couple vacationing in Maui had found their wedding ring while walking in ankle-deep water

Dean Barnes and his wife were able to locate the Schumacher’s church thanks to the coordinates inscribed inside the ring. Once the church connected the two couples, the Barnes mailed the ring back to the Schumachers in Kansas, along with a note.

“I informed Megan that it was not our ring and that she did not owe us anything,” Dean Barnes wrote in the letter, obtained by ABC News. “All I asked was that Megan and Brandon go back to Maui or another vacation and enjoy themselves and leave their rings at home.”

The Schumachers were so overjoyed when UPS delivered the wedding band to their home that they filmed the event.

In the video, which was republished by KMBC 9 News, Brandon Schumacher promised to never take the ring off again.

The Olympic Torch Is Borderline Indestructible 

The Olympic torch’s one job is to stay lit no matter what. And honestly, I never gave much thought to how that was accomplished. Lots of tiki torch fluid? Very careful runners? Ghosts? Correct answer: pressurized gas and a chassis that could probably survive reentry into Earth’s atmosphere.

People Are Upset (Yawn) That Malia Obama Skipped The DNC For Lollapalooza

If we learned anything from the 1998 Disney movie “My Date with the President’s Daughter” (we learned everything), it’s that the life of a teenager in the White House consists of Secret Service hijinks, daddy-daughter tensions and, of course, a personalized theme song you can’t stop singing 18 years later. 

The eldest first daughter decided to eschew expectations of what her duties “should” be and skipped the Democratic National Convention to enjoy the Lollapalooza festival in Chicago instead. 

Malia Obama was spotted at the Cashmere Cat set on Thursday amid a crowd of concertgoers around the same time Hillary Clinton was making history as the first woman to secure a major party’s presidential nomination

The Secret Service was also in attendance to ensure the 18-year-old’s safety at the festival. One Twitter user snapped a team of agents dressed in matching plaid shirts and khaki pants at the venue. 

Unfortunately, some Twitter users took the opportunity to blast Malia on social media for being A COMPLETELY NORMAL TEENAGER. Cause that worked out so well last time, right? 

Thankfully, the sane side of Twitter quickly clapped back at the critics to remind everyone that it’s perfectly fine for Malia to go to a concert of her choosing, especially after almost eight years of being in the political spotlight. 

 

But the real question here’s is WHERE WAS SASHA?!
