Diver Recovers Wedding Ring that Fell in Lake Tahoe During a Wedding Ceremony
A Vancouver, Washington man accidentally dropped his wedding ring into Lake Tahoe during his wedding ceremony. It slipped right out of his hands, through the cracks of the dock and into the water.
The couple could see the ring sitting on a rock about 15 feet deep and 40 feet off shore. Marlee, the soon-to-be wife told KTXL that instead of jumping into the water and finishing the ceremony, the couple turned to Facebook.
Andrew Kent, the groom made a post on a “Tahoe Scuba Divers” page hoping a member wold make the trip to grab his ring.
“Is there anyone in this group that would be willing to help us out?” Kent asked on March 12. “Or if anyone knows anybody that could lend a hand? Any help is appreciated!”
The responses were positively overwhelming with many divers wanting to help.
As soon as the administrator for the Facebook group Phil Abernathy read the post, he knew he wanted to help.
“I knew that I would have some free time the following morning, and I genuinely love to dive,” Abernathy told McClatchy News. “I have done many different training courses. So It’s nice to be able to use the skills that I have trained.”
