What's better than finding a needle in a haystack? Finding your missing wedding ring in the middle of a river.
When Rangiora sweethearts Toby and Fran Gilsenan got married live on TV earlier this year, they planned to keep both their vows and their rings for the long haul.
So when the pair went for a Labour Day swim at the Ashley Gorge, they were gutted when Toby resurfaced minus his ring.
He had no expectation he would find it – after all he was searching for a small circle of tungsten in a river – but he spotted a sparkle after just five minutes in the knee-deep water.
"I saw a glimmer, what looked like the light reflecting on the water, but it stayed in the same spot. I thought it would probably be a piece of glass but when I scooped it up I realised it was my ring."
"[It's] not leaving my finger now, unless I'm swimming in a river," he says.
