I hope he gets his ring back, but I have to admit...

Definitely not one of that guy's better moments. *LoL* At least he lost it while playing with his kids though. Hopefully that helped soften the blow when he had to break the news to his wife. I think if it were my husband I'd have yelled at him for being such an idiot but cut him some slack since he was playing with the kids. *LoL*

usually people use big wedges of plastic to hold ballons down, not the best choice really, seems a strange thing to do. I hope he gets it back too but it seems unlikey.

i would not be able to get my ring off to do this with, and I would not trust a helium balloon with anything of value. I agree, I hope he gets it back, and I hope his wife forgives him.

pretty stupid thing to do, there were probably other things he could hae used. however i do hope that he will get it back, but it all comes down to the person who finds it - honest or not. If I found something like that i would for sure give it back. A wedding ring is something that u really never can replace!

I feel sorry but what was he thinking anyway to tie the baloon with the ring ? of course that wouldn't be heavy enough, would it ? Anyway, let's hope he can get the ring back though if it happens to me, I would be so upset with my husband.

I have a similar story to tell. Our coach on the softball team also lost his wedding ring during practice. His wife joined the practice that day so we could really see how deeply saddened she was. So we, the players, scattered out on the field, and like goats looking for some good grass to eat, started to look for the wedding ring. We have to be on our knees because there was too much grass on the field and we really wanted find the ring. To end it, we didn't find the ring on the field. It fell off on one of the gloves our coach used. LOL. That was quite an experience but it was a fun one. Especially when we saw how glad the coach's wife was

Not the brightest thing to do...I must say. I think I would have tied something way less vaulable to the balloon! Well at least we can give the poor guy credit for playing with and being involved with his child..HA HA Right?

LOL, why the heck would anyone want to tie such a valuable ring to a balloon of all things?! That man must have been high..hehe! What's the point of hoping he will find the ring, probably some angel must be sporting it up in heaven:o)

I sure hope that his kids are old enough to be witnesses for him, because he might have a bit of explaining to do with his wife! Seriously, what a stupid thing to do, although I can see what his thought processes were. I sure hope that he gets the ring back, but it seems really unlikely, doesn't it? Kind of like finding a needle in a haystack!

Don't mind me saying on this, but did the man do it wantedly to get the ring off or just wanted to see for the reason stated. I mean he might be showing the signs to end the relationship. This is just the other way of seeing the issue. No regrets. Just an opinion.

LOL ..that is so funny. I cant believe he would put his wedding ring on the balloon. He probably will never get his ring back.I hope he learned something by this, never tie your ring to a balloon.

That is terrible and sad, poor guy. I think that, unless it pops and lands in an area nearby, he is never going to get it back. Perhaps, there is a one in a million chance, but it seems even more unlikely than that. I lost my wedding ring in the car, and I knew where it had fallen, into a little crevice, but because it wouldn't come out, I started to doubt that it had actually rolled there. Then, I started looking in other places in the car, once I had looked everywhere, I ended up going to that same crevice, because I knew that I had seen it glittering there, before I had shoved in further. So, I kept at it until it finally rolled back out...thank goodness...I would have been devastated, I am always worried about that sort of thing, because I can be so forgetful and clumsy.

LOL! What on earth was he thinking?? I mean, his wedding ring?? If I wanted something to weigh the balloon down there is no way on this earth I would have used my Wedding ring! That's something sacred, mine won't ever be off my finger. Marriage is for life after all, and so the ring should be lol. It IS kinda funny though, I mean he took the ring off and tied it to the balloon, then left it with his kid long enough for him to open the door and wave goodbye lol. I hope he gets it back though, if he does, it'd be a pretty awesome story.

Maybe it is a good 2 somebody who picked the balloon & the ring.But the man would had suffering something from his wife....(hehe)

hahaha.. that was foolish lol, what was he thinking? I'm so sorry for him, he must be feeling very sad right now. I wonder how his wife would react. I really hope his wife won't get mad on him lol

Well I have to agree there, that was silly to do. You do not mess about with something as precious as that. I hope he gets it back to, but I can't see it somehow. Lets hope that it will teach him a Lesson a severe one.

Ohh I feel realy pity for him. What a poor guy, he have got the punishment of doing such childish thing. I can't think of it that he will get it back, but still we can keep hope for him. And I laso hope that he will not paly again with precious things like that.

Oh the poor man! I hope this story gets around and some one finds it! I 've heard of other wedding ring "miracles". A woman once lost her wedding ring in her garden. Years later after they had sold their property the new owners pulled a carrot out of the garden that had grown straight through the whole in the ring. The new owners were able to give the woman her ring back decades after it was lost.

I'd have to kill my husband too. I bet he was feeling like an idiot after he did that. What in the world possessed him to tie his WEDDING RING to the balloon!? He could have tied any other object to see if it would weigh it down but he picked his wedding ring. Bet he was sleeping on the couch that night.

Well I would like to find that balloon lol I hate to say this, but its his own fault...he shouldn't have done that in the first place, or tried it in a controlled space, ie...his house!
