NEW YORK — A couple whose wedding proposal went horribly wrong will get their happy ending after all, CBS New York reports. The New York Police Department said police have found the happy couple and are working to return the engagement ring after it fell down a utility grate.

The NYPD said Saturday the couple asked police for help at 11:55 p.m. after the ring fell approximately 8 feet down a utility grate. The NYPD Emergency Services could not immediately recover the ring and the couple left.

The bride-to-be, Daniella, tweeted Sunday that her fiancé John proposed in Central Park, but the ring was too big and fell off while they were walking in Times Square on Friday.
