Suitor drops ring on Brooklyn Bridge
NEW YORK (UPI) -- A butter-fingered suitor who dropped a diamond ring during a proposal on the Brooklyn Bridge says he got some help from a New York employee.
Trey Turner had one piece of luck -- the ring landed on a construction platform instead of falling into the East River, the New York Post reported.
Turner told the Brooklyn Paper he was kneeling before his intended, Kelsey Kramer, last Wednesday. He said the ring "flipped out" of his pocket as he reached in to pull it out.
"It flew in the air, hit the ground and started to roll," he said. "I was leaning down to grab it when it fell."
Doug Reese, a bridge worker, found the ring on the platform. A city Transportation Department employee presented the ring to Kramer Friday, since Turner had returned to his home in Florida.
Kramer accepted Turner's proposal, even without the ring.
Turner said he had been worrying about dropping the ring while he and Kramer walked across the bridge from her apartment in Brooklyn Heights.
At least one other man in recent years has dropped an engagement ring on the bridge during a proposal. Don Walling dashed into traffic on the bridge roadway to retrieve his ring and present it to Gina Pellicani last year, the Post said.

I think I would tie the ring to my finger or something safe!
