So it's 2 1/2 hours before my fiancee is flying home for the Easter weekend (where she's going to show off her new engagement ring to her family for the first time).
I'm awakened by a shriek.
She dropped her engagement ring down the sink.
The piping under the sink is solid plastic, so there's no easy way to remove the trap.
I make about 30 frantic phone calls and find a plumber who gets here 1 1/2 hours before her plane leaves.
He uses a saw to cut the piping so we can get the ring out, and then reattaches it - it takes about half an hour.
I get her to the airport 1/2 hour before her flight leaves - she makes the flight by 3 minutes, only because of a 10 minute technical delay.
And the rest of my day is ruined.
Anyone else thinking about getting engaged?
