      <title>Diamond Ring Falls From Hot Air Balloon</title>
      <description>Some people just have no luck. Take James Ng for example. Mr. Ng was set to propose to his girlfriend during a hot air balloon ride, but it wasn’t meant to be. As he was 500 feet above the ground, the ring slipped from his grasp towards the disappearing earth.
The 26-year-old pastor had it all planned out. He would hide the one-carat diamond engagement ring in a box and place the box in his camera case. Unfortunately, it didn’t go according to plan. “I just watched it tumble and it hit a tree and spun around and the stuff fluttered out of it,” said Ng.  “And I just put my head down on the side of the balloon and I was just - I just couldn't believe I'd just done that.”
The camera case with the box containing the ring fell from Ng's hands and disappeared into the trees below. 
“My first thought was just don't tell her what fell out of the balloon, and buy another ring, which it took me forever to afford the one I had,” but his girlfriend, Sonya Bostic, quickly figured out what had happened.
“When the bag dropped and he reacted the way he did, that's when I knew,” Bostic confesses. “Wait a second! My ring's in there!” 
Despite the mishap, Ng dropped to one knee and proposed anyway. But Ng's mind didn’t stop working. 
“I got up and I was like, what river did we just pass? Where was that? I started trying to get a feel for where we were.”</description>

      <title>Manhattan Diamond Dash For Charity</title>
      <description>Last Saturday, hundreds of couples ran around Manhattan in search of a $20,000 engagement ring, a luxurious Hawaiian honeymoon, and many other prizes during the ‘Diamond Dash: Dash For a Diamond &amp; a Cure’ event.

The charity event, which raised money for The Leukemia &amp; Lymphoma Society, was sponsored by Michael C. Fina and Tacori. Partisipants were encouraged to donate $100.00 to The Leukemia &amp; Lymphoma Society instead of paying a registration fee. Nearly $3,000 was raised.

The dash started at noon at Battery Park. Couples were provided text message clues, which led to various wedding-related places throughout Manhatten, including Michael C. Fina, Hearst, John Allan, Tumi, Godiva Chocolatier, Ron Ben-Israel, Kleinfeld, and mad46. 

Tom Weymouth and Katherine Gordon of Astoria, NY won the grand prize and an opportunity to propose live at the Rooftop Lounge of the Roosevelt Hotel.

It took them approximately 3 hours to complete the course, using subways, cabs, and a healthy sprint. After winning, Tom got on one knee and said, “Kat, I'd run anywhere with you.” 

Actually, this wasn’t the first time these lovebirds participated in a similar event. According to Tom: “Kat and I love games and one of our first dates was a race around New York where we really bonded as a couple. When we saw the Diamond Dash advertised, we knew it was meant to be. When we actually won we just couldn't believe our luck!”</description>

      <title>Johnny Depp Announces Fourth “Pirates of the Caribbean” Movie</title>
      <description>When the announcement came, it was with all of the noise and drama of Captain Jack Sparrow, and none of the quiet reserve and discretion of Johnny Depp.  On Friday night, Depp sailed onto the stage at the Anaheim Convention Center in a pirate ship in full Jack Sparrow attire.  Staying in character, he stumbled drunkenly around the stage before hugging Walt Disney Studios Chairman Dick Cook, who then announced to attendees of the D23 Expo—a Disney version of Comic-Con—that Jack Sparrow would be back in “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” in 2011.  When Cook suggested that it might be time for some rum, it was the over-the-top Captain Jack who said: “Sounds good!”</description>

      <title>Archie Proposes To Veronica, Betty Heartbroken</title>
      <description>For more than 67 years, comic book fans have witnessed the endless dilemma plaguing protagonist Archie Andrews – who should he pick, blonde Betty or dark-haired Veronica? Now fans can finally let out a huge sign of relief (or disbelief), because the famous comic redhead teen has made a decision. In the first installment of a six-part series due to hit newsstand on September 1st, Archie present an engagement ring to Veronica. That’s right, he went with the brunette.

“there’s very few things that I can ever think of that will trump this type of event,” says Happy Harbor Comics owner, Jay Bardyla, “Especially something that’s of characters that are known by so many people.”

Tim Lasiuta, a comic book historian, described the marriage as “a bold step” to create a buzz among Archie devotees.

Indeed the marriage comes as a surprise to most longtime fans, expecting Archie’s decision to go on indefinitely. Many are surprised that he chose Veronica over Betty.  Fan marc Desgagne said “To be honest, it would have been Betty for me, because she was more down to earth compared to Veronica.”

      <title>Man Finds His Wedding Ring At The Bottom Of A Harbor</title>
      <description>How far would you go for love? For a New Zealand local the answer was ‘very far’. After dropping his wedding ring to the bottom of Wellington Harbor, Aleki Taumoepeau, swore to his new bride that he would retrieve the sunken treasure… that was 16 months ago.

The NIWA ecologist was scouring the harbor for invasive plant species last March when the ring slipped from his finger. He quickly threw an anchor overboard in an attempt to mark the loose whereabouts of the band. He swore to his wife of three months, Rachel, that he would find the token of their bliss.

Describing the incident, Rachel said “It flew off into the air and everyone on the boat was looking at it and said it was like a scene from Lord of the Rings in slow motion.”

Three months after the incident Aleki Taumoepeau was on the hunt for the ring, but the quest proved to be unsuccessful. Thankfully, Aleki was back on the scene recently for another attempt.</description>

      <title>Celine Dion Pregnant With Second Child</title>
      <description>It was announced yesterday morning that pop diva Celine Dion is pregnant. 

The French-Canadian chanteuse exchanged wedding rings with long time beau Rene Angelil on Dec 17, 1994. The couple’s first child, Rene-Charles, was born in January of 2001. 

Angelil already has three other children from two prior marriages.

A rep for the couple has confirmed the pregnancy, stating “Celine and Rene are very happy. They are crazy in love over the news… they are overjoyed.”

The 41-year-old singer of ‘My Heart Will Go On’ found out the news herself only this Monday, after she and her 67-year-old husband conceived with the assistance of a team of fertility doctors in New York. The spouses’ first child was born by cesarean, after 6 years of fertility clinic treatments.

The pregnancy news follows the end of Ms. Dion's recent Taking Chances world tour, which reportedly grossed $273-million.
