Fiancée loses her ring in Easter egg swap
An expensive engagement ring hidden as a surprise in a chocolate Easter egg has given enormous pre-marital tension to a young Italian couple.
The £1,300 ring has gone missing after the fiancée, a 26-year-old law graduate, decided to exchange the plain chocolate egg for a milk chocolate equivalent.
When he discovered what had happened, her husband-to-be, a 30-year-old plumber, rushed back to the shop where he had purchased the egg, only to find that it had already been resold. The missing ring has put the relationship under considerable stress, with angry words from the donor and tears from the unlucky recipient.
“The episode has caused a lot of tension, even resulting in a very strong slap in the face for the prospective bride,” Luca Maori, a Perugia lawyer said yesterday. “She contacted me, because she was thinking about taking legal action against her fiancé for her minor physical injuries.”
Maori yesterday made an appeal on television to whoever found a gold ring with a heart-shaped diamond and three rubies in a plain chocolate Easter egg to return it to the shop. There is a handsome reward, he said. “I have all the legal papers ready to claim damages from the boyfriend, but we will wait for the moment.”
Maori said he was now more optimistic that the couple would stop arguing and get back together again than that they would recover the ring. “For one thing, the fiancée has promised she will learn to like plain chocolate,” he said.
So far the costly surprise has caused much more disappointment than the plastic toys usually found in chocolate eggs.
