Man proposes with wisdom tooth engagement ring

Marriage means giving yourself to another person, right? A Canadian man took that ideal literally and proposed to his fiancée with a custom ring made out of his wisdom tooth.

Yes, sink your teeth into that one.

Carlee Leifkes and Lucas Unger met at a music festival in Canada earlier this year, and got engaged in California on Halloween, ABC reported.

Leifkes told ABC that the couple is “very non-traditional” and a diamond ring isn’t their style.

“The tooth symbolizes the weird, quirky, odd couple we are,” she told ABC. “Every tooth is different, and the tooth also shows what my husband's willing to go through for me. Lucas literally grew this and went through pain when he got it removed, and all that went into my wedding ring."

Leifkes posted a picture of the ring on Facebook on Nov. 2, and said she couldn’t wait to marry “the man who knows that his wisdom tooth means more to me than a diamond.”

She said the couple came up with the idea for the quirky ring a few weeks before he proposed, ABC reported.
