It took a village to find the lost ring of a Scottish bride-to-be. Jen McGowan, 26, was playing fetch with her dog on a beach near Drummore when she accidentally flicked the red-stone ring
into the Irish Sea — just 24 hours after her fiancé had proposed to her on the very same beach. After a frantic search, McGowan posted on Drummore's Facebook page asking for help. The
next day, 30 villagers, many with metal detectors, began scouring the sand. They found the ring, still in perfect condition, within two hours. "What a fantastic group of neighbors we
have," says McGowan. A free daily email with the biggest news stories of the day – and the best features from TheWeek.com SUBSCRIBE TO THE WEEK Escape your echo chamber. Get the facts
