John Sauvageau’s plans to propose to his partner took a nasty turn this week when he realized he had lost the engagement ring and similar to a needle being lost in a haystack, the ring was lost somewhere in Stanley Park.
Sauvageau says he planned to propose while walking around the park, but it fell out of his pocket shortly before the big moment. He says he has had the ring for a while and was trying to find a good time to pop the question.
“Before I realized I lost it, I was a little nervous and like a little excited after I realized I didn’t have it on me that basically dissolved to full on, like, panic,” he told 1130 NewsRadio.
He says he and his girlfriend looked for hours for the ring, even hiring someone with a metal detector.
The ring is described as white gold with a diamond and has “Michael Hill” branding inside.
Sauvageau says it’ll take a miracle to find the ring, and suspects he’ll have to replace it.
If you do find it, he asks you to drop it off with Vancouver Police.
