So Lucky! Cops Find Engagement Ring Dropped In Grate

Ah, the power of social media! When a couple thought all hope was lost, the internet and the New York Police Department stepped in to help. It all started when John Drennan proposed to girlfriend Daniella at Central Park. The happy couple visiting from the UK decided to walk through Times Square afterward when the ring slipped off and into a sidewalk grate, according to ABC News.
