This is my very first blog posting and the subject is not so cheery. On Christmas day we were snorkeling out in Little Lameshur Bay on St. John Island, part of the US Virgin Islands, and I lost my wedding ring. I think it came off just a few feet off shore in the middle of the beach. I was getting stung by a jellyfish as I was coming in and thrashing around in the process of getting my stuff off when it probably slipped away. The search and rescue failed. I had figured I would grow old with that ring. So I am hoping against the odds that someone someday will be looking for fishies, or perhaps combing around with a metal detector, and come up with my symbol of eternal marriage. There is an inscription that reads "KKW + CEN 6-12-04". It turns out I don't have many good photos with me and my ring, but here are a few. Hopefully if someone finds it they'll google the inscription, find this blog post, and email me at cen9@hotmail.com. Until then I'll be wearing a paper ring.

Oh man! You could always make one out of a dollar bill...you guys have not had good luck in the ring department...just pick up a replacement at Aldo for $15--that is what Sean wears and he gets compliments all of the time. But on a hopeful note--my mom's friend lost her wedding ring water skiing... dropped it in a lake--and when the water receded, some little kid found it while digging in the sand with a stick! So, there is hope!
Now both of the Nelson boys have lost their rings! I'm sorry to hear you got that on top of your sting! I hope it turns up sometime...and I look forward to hearing about the better parts of your trip when you get home.
Yeah, Ryan lost his too. But there are surprisingly some good looking cheap rings, which is what he gets from now on - until he learns not to play with his wedding ring. At least it wasn't Kimber's, but I am really impressed you are sentimental about it!
Oh I am so sorry! That is terrible. I loved your wedding ring. I am sure you will find a great replacement. I lost my engagement ring too, but it wasn't nearly as nice as yours was.
