Couple suffer 'disaster' proposal after fiancé loses £14k engagement ring on beach

A couple spent hours searching for their £14k engagement ring in the dark after accidentally dropping it during a proposal shoot on the beach. Kirsten Durand, 31, and her fiancé Tory Parker, 30, were having engagement pictures taken when the ring fell out of its box and disappeared in the sand.

With the sun going down and the tide fast approaching, they spent the next two and half hours desperately searching for the ring using sieves and a metal detector. Thankfully their photographer, Yakira Parise, eventually spotted the diamond and was able to return it to the bride-to-be, Wales Online reports.

Kirsten, a party business owner from Vancouver, Canada, said: “We were taking our photos and doing a mock proposal and after Troy said will you marry him I leapt into his arms and we fell to the sand. We didn’t realise until our photographer asked for a close up of the ring that it was missing.
