Broken Engagement Leads to Treasure Hunt for Dating Couples

Thursday June 4, 2009

A New Zealander who recently proposed to his girlfriend and was told no, didn't know what to do with the engagement ring. He couldn't return it as he'd purchased it overseas, and he didn't want to sell it for reasons, so he decided he'd get rid of the ring via a Twitter-based treasure hunt. Interested parties close to Wellington, NZ, can follow the 29-year-old's clues this Saturday, in the hopes that they get to the ring, first.

Feeling better after a breakup is never easy, but I can't imagine proposing to someone, them saying no, and then having a very expensive reminder hanging around. So donating it to a person who can put it to good use is a lovely way to change the negatives into a positive, I think. But what about you? What's your take?
