Real life Harry Met Saijal as woman finds her ring after 13 years
Mary Grams, an 84-year-old woman from Alberta, Canada, lost her engagement ring while doing some yard work near the potato patch on her property. “I went to the garden for something and I saw this long weed. For some reason, I picked it up and it must have caught on something and pulled [the ring] off,” she said.

After searching for weeks and crying, Mary Grams gave up hope and bought herself a new, similar ring in hopes that her husband wouldn’t notice.
But destiny has something different for her. More than 13 years later, the rogue ring was found by her son Brian Grams’ wife, where they live together in the same house. ““My wife was digging carrots for supper, and I guess she came up with a carrot that had something on it,” Brian said.
Yes, that’s right. The ring was completely wrapped around the carrot, mimicking the appearance of a stubby little finger with its circulation cut off.
Mary, 84, says she didn't know if they were kidding or not, but when her granddaughter brought the carrot over – she knew: "It's mine!" #yeg pic.twitter.com/Ft7IMUeSMR

Grams’ husband Norman passed away five years ago, but she’s now reunited with her ring — and this time, she’s making sure it’s not going anywhere. “Anything I do outside, I’m going to take it off and it’s going to stay,” she said.
