The four lost wedding rings made me laugh! But, really that isn't a funny thing.
Ah, Pumpkin, I know this only too well. We lost our rings a few days before our wedding. And then in the weeks following the wedding lost another of the replacement rings the jeweler sent to us. So in the end we bought five rings for the one marriage. I can say it's only funny in retrospect and after about a year.
