    I made his ring and had it ready just in time. I'd make him shut his
    eyes while I fitted it. He never peeked. 

    The ring was dropped during the course of the ceremony and had to be
    chased down. It is very unseemly for the bride to assume the
    "jewelers position" ( on hands and knees, butt in the air, cheek to
    the ground...) to search for a lost ring. He never saw the ring
    until that part of the ceremony when I put it on his finger. He
    burst out laughing. Nugget style rings were in fashion then so I had
    carved the word "gotcha" into the wax.

    The ring was unique and special. When he was killed in a mid-air
    helicopter crash and lost at sea for a week, the ring was the only
    form of positive identification left when he was found.
