Sorry?! A CARROT reunited one pensioner with… his wedding ring

If you grew up with an Irish mammy in a Catholic household, chances are you know that St Anthony is your only man if you're frantically hunting for something you've lost.

And while we have the man himself to thank for reuniting us with countless things over the years, one pensioner from Germany has – wait for it – a carrot to thank for his good fortune.

Three years after losing his wedding ring while doing some gardening, an elderly man from Bad Münstereifel was reunited with the piece of jewellery when it reappeared wrapped around a vegetable during a recent harvest.

No, seriously.

Having searched unsuccessfully for years, the mam and his wife resigned themselves to the notion that the ring was lost forever, but 18 months after the latter's passing, the 82-year-old widower was presented with his ring which had spent three years nestling beneath the soil.

Commenting on his good fortune, the pensioner confirmed that the ring was in perfect condition and finally back with its rightful owner.

Anyone else melting right now?
