Nontraditional Wedding Rings

While the couple were living together, Bernard found a puppy he loved when he was in the country celebrating his grandmother's 80th birthday. "When he came back the next morning, I was so excited to meet the puppy that it took me a few moments to notice the engagement ring tied around his neck. Getting engaged was not even on my mind, but of course I was thrilled," Tess says.
