Bridge Barters for Wedding on Craigslist
Posted by: | CommentsFrom AJC.com:
Craigslist rescued her teeth, why not her love life?
A year ago Kerry Coryell was in desperate need of dental work. But she couldn’t afford the $8,000 tab. So she posted an ad on Craigslist, offering up her many talents in exchange for a fixed-up mouth.
A Long Beach, Calif., dentist took her up on it. In exchange for five crowns, a handful of fillings and a root canal, Kerry worked weekends remodeling his dental office: stripping wallpaper, painting, even furniture shopping for him.
Then, about a month ago, her girlfriend Rebecca Dever sent her an e-mail with a link to photos of a fairy tale wedding shot in Cabo by Lake Forest, Calif., photographer Bob Ortiz. One of the photos even captured teardrops of happiness welling up in the eyes of the bride as she said her vows.
Kerry’s first thought: Why is my friend torturing me?
Her second thought: Why can’t I have a wedding like this?
But then Kerry had another thought. It was actually the same thought, but with a more positive spin.
Why CAN’T I have a wedding like this?

Jenny and Dave Hooke were visiting family in the Florida Keys one weekend. When Jenny was splashing about in the chest-high water, she suddenly felt her (uninsured) engagement ring slip off her finger. After several hours of frantic searching, the couple desperately gave up hope.
Fortunately for them, though, Dave’s brother KC was taking his family down to the Keys the following week to visit the same family. Apparently, KC likes a challenge. He brought along his underwater metal detector and spent two days of his family vacation hunting for the ring. In the end, he found it. All the heart-warming goodness is caught on tape for your viewing pleasure.
Couple Finds Wedding Ring 33 Years After Losing it
Posted by: | CommentsFrom This is Nottingham:
Anthea Capewell, 60, was doing some gardening 33 years ago in her previous home when she lost her wedding and engagement ring. When it happened, her and her husband searched frantically for the rings. At one point the search became so intense that they even rented a metal detector. They managed to salvage the engagement ring, but the wedding ring eluded them.
Thirty-three years went by, and in that time the Capewells moved on to a new home, and eventually forgot about the ring. That was, until last week, when their former neighbor called them with some unbelievable news. While she was trimming her hedges, she found a small brown piece of metal. It piqued her interest, so she decided to clean it off, and lo and behold, it was the lost ring!
Mr Capewell said: “I heard Anthea get all excited on the phone. I thought she had won the lottery.”
