The Engagement Ring Owner Has Been Found |

UPDATE: Now that's a proposal story!

The New York Police Department says an English couple who lost an engagement ring down a Times Square utility grate will be getting it back.

The NYPD had been looking for the couple since Saturday, after getting the ring out of the grate.

The man and woman had been in Times Square late Friday night, and police say the man dropped the ring during the proposal to his girlfriend.

They asked for help, but police were initially unsuccessful at getting the ring out and the man and woman left without leaving their names or contact information.

The NYPD posted on social media. Police say the couple, who had returned to England, got in touch and the ring will get back to them.

Police have an urgent message for the couple who lost their engagement ring in Times Square: We have the ring.

The New York Police Department says a man was proposing to his girlfriend just before midnight Friday when he dropped the ring and it fell about 8 feet (2.4 meters) down a utility grate.

The couple asked police for help, but emergency service officers could not immediately find the sparkler.

Eventually, they found it. But the would-be bride and groom left without leaving their names or contact information.

Police are now trying to track them down to restore their holiday joy. They've released surveillance photos of the couple and are asking the public to help reunite them with the ring.
