iStock/Getty(NEW YORK) — She said yes! Then, she probably screamed “noooo!” — as her engagement ring slipped out of his fingers and through one of New York City’s subway grates.
Now, the New York Police Department is looking for the couple who dropped the ring through the grate.
“Help us find the couple [whose] marriage proposal went horribly wrong after their engagement ring fell down the drain in #TimesSquare,” the department’s Midtown North precinct tweeted.
