"WANTED for dropping his fiancée's ring in @TimesSquareNYC! She said Yes - but he was so excited that he dropped the ring in a grate. Our @NYPDSpecialops officers rescued it & would like to return it to the happy couple. Help us find them?" read the tweet.

The couple, as it was found later, is from England. John Drennan and Daniella Anthony tweeted on Sunday, December 2, saying they were happy and grateful that the police officers found the ring for them.

The police department was looking for the couple since Saturday, December 1, after they found the ring. Drennan proposed to Anthony in Central Park and the latter said the ring slipped off her finger and fell into the grate.

The woman told The New York Times that she was "literally crying" and that "it was the worst moment" of her life. They sought police help but initially they could not recover it. The dejected couple left for England without leaving behind its contact information. Drennan reportedly bought a second ring after reaching the airport.
