(CNN) It's still a fairy tale ending, but it required a little editing.

Twitter let out a collective "Aww!" this weekend when the New York Police Department announced it had found an engagement ring that a man accidentally dropped through a Times Square sidewalk grate after proposing to his girlfriend.

On Saturday, the NYPD put out an all points Twitter bulletin seeking the woeful groom.

"WANTED for dropping his fiancée's ring in Times Square! She said Yes- but he was so excited that he dropped the ring in a grate," the NYPD News tweeted Saturday. " ... Officers rescued it & would like to return it to the happy couple."
