An Indian origin girl was finally able to put a smile on a British man’s face by reuniting him with his lost wedding ring. The incident happened in Isle of Wight on the south coast of England where 11-year-old Priya Sahu discovered a gold ring in the sand while playing on the Ventor Beach. After much search, she finally found that it belonged to a man called Matt Eastley who had lost it a day before.

Speaking to BBC, Eastley reckoned that he had been “splashing around”  in the sea before he realized that his wedding ring had been lost forever. Although, he had asked a café owner on the beach to keep an eye on the ring and inform him in case it was found, he had lost all hopes of finding it. Eastley had even planned to replace his 15 years old ‘symbol fo marriage’ to another ring.

However, destiny had other plans for him and Priya found it tucked in the sand.  Once found, the little girl along with her mother  Aswita, set off on the “Magical” mission to reunite the ring with her owner. Their efforts snowballed, and finally, they came to know about the Café owner on the Isle of Wight. The café owner then put them through Eastley and he met the mother-daughter duo in South Hampton. Finally, in a jubilant moment, the Briton was able to slip back his beloved ring almost after a month of losing it.
