'Some sort of miracle': Wedding band lost in grocery bag returned 3 months later

MaritesPerry still gets emotional talking about the day she realized her most precious possession, her wedding ring, wentmissing.

The Summerside, P.E.I., woman was bagging groceries last Decemberwhile working at Superstore. After her shift, she noticed the ringwas gone.

"I was really, really upset and sad that time because I've been wearing this ring for almost 12 years," Perry said.

It wasn't around her work station, so she figured it ended falling intoone of the bags.

The store took to social media, asking customers to check who'd come through that day.

It turned up nothing.

"I'm still hoping, I'm still hoping," Perry recalled. "It is everything to me. I was so sad, Iwas so upset."

One of the people who shopped that day was Perry's friend and fellow cashier, Sylvia Sauve.

Sauvechecked all her shopping bags and didn't find anything. She also checked her car because the two often went shopping together.Again, nothing.

Then on Wednesday, exactly three months to the day, Sauve lost something between the seats in her car. When she went to retrieve it, she found aring beneath her seat. She said her heart started racing.

"All of a sudden I said, 'This is my friend's ring,'"Sauvesaid.

Sauvecalled Perry asking her to meet because she had something to tell her.The two met outside Perry's home.

"I give it to her and she was like what it is this? I said I guess this is yours," Sauve said. "Finally she said give me a big hug."

Sauve said she had cleaned her car several times over the past few months, but can't understand why shedidn't find the ring.

"We're always talking about miracles and maybe it happened,"Sauvesaid.

The ring was found on the same day Perry and husband planned to go to a local jewelry store to purchase a new ring.

She still can't believe her luck.

"If I tell that to anybody else, no one would believe me, but I believe myself," Perry said.

Sylvia Sauvesaid she was just happy to return the ring.

"Now I found it, so you don't need to buy a ring anymore," Sauve told her longtime friend.

The wedding ring is now back on Perry's finger. She said she's going to be extra careful bagging groceries from now on.

She's happy to finally be reunited with her beloved wedding band.

"It's really some sort of miracle," she said
