The ring was found in the Penticton channel this summer.

There's a happy ending to the story from last week about a swimmer finding a lost wedding band in the Penticton channel.

After the Penticton RCMP reached out to the public about the lost men's wedding band, with the inscription “NOEL LOVES STEPHANIE,” Noel and Stephanie came forward to retrieve the ring.

But the ring was lost in the channel 17 years ago, making the find even more improbable.

Despite losing the ring way back in 2005, Noel and Stephanie are celebrating their 20th anniversary this year.

“Penticton RCMP is grateful for all of the community’s help to return the ring to the couple. Happy 20th!” said Const. Dayne Lyons.
