Shoshone Point Grand Canyon Wedding

The groom almost lost the chance for this important moment; putting the ring on his bride's finger!
The bride and groom were nearly ready for their wedding ceremony.  It was a little hectic as they had just driven from Las Vegas that day (a four hour drive), plus they stopped in Kingman to get their marriage license! Additionally, some family members had been separated from them and were having difficulty finding the location.  Shoshone Point is at the Grand Canyon and is a private gated area.  
As everyone arrived, we gathered for the ceremony.  The bride  then realized she had lost her ring!  We spent about 10 minutes or so combing the area looking for the ring, no luck. The bride was naturally devastated and said, "Well, let's just get on with it." Of course, we all felt terrible for her and I certainly didn't want her heading into one of the biggest moments of her life feeling like, let's just do this... sigh.  Once the ceremony was underway, I think it left her mind for awhile as it was such a touching experience.  The bride and the groom had written the most beautiful dedication to their parents and grandparents, I nearly started to cry along with everyone else.  Then, the moment came, the exchange of rings.  Just as the groom finished saying the ring vows to her and using only the engagement ring, a group of four hikers walked up.  They approached one of the family members and the next thing we heard was, "We have the ring!"  We all stopped, completely stunned! I walked over to get the ring and the groom was able to place the wedding band on her finger as he said, "With this ring, I thee wed."  The bride teared up. A gentleman in the group (they were from Canada) later explained: he was approaching the gate to see if it was unlocked and saw something shiny on the ground.  Much to his surprise he picked it up and remarked, this is someone's wedding ring; Intricate vines and leaves interlaced gracefully to form her wedding band. They then hiked the two mile walk to Shoshone Point and found us in the midst of the wedding ceremony!  Not only that, but he arrived just in time for her to receive her much loved ring in the ceremony.  Wow! What a blessed wedding day! Absolutely amazing!!!
