She Dreamed She Swallowed Her Engagement Ring. She Woke Up To Find It Was True.

On Tuesday, Jenna Evans was on a high-speed train that was
racing down the tracks, her fiancé by her side, when some “bad
guys” appeared, she said.

There was only one way to protect her 2.4 carat diamond
engagement ring — swallow it. So that’s what Evans did.

“I popped that sucker off, put it in my mouth and swallowed it
with a glass of water,” Evans said in a Facebook post.

Then she woke up.

Evans was relieved on Wednesday morning that the whole episode
had just been a vivid, bizarre dream, that she told “Today” was
“very James Bond.” That is, until she realized her engagement ring
was no longer on her finger.

Evans — who has a history of sleepwalking — soon realized that
while the “bad guys” and the high-speed train had all been her
snoozing subconscious, the consumption of her engagement ring was
not.

“When I woke up in the morning, there was no ring on my finger,”
Evans told “Today.” “I couldn’t help but laugh at it, and then I
had to wake my fiance up and tell him that I had swallowed my
engagement ring.”

Evans said on Facebook she had to google if adults often swallow
rings. It turns out children more commonly do it.

Evans went to an urgent care clinic where doctors decided
against letting the ring pass naturally through the 29-year-old’s
system, and instead referred her to a gastroenterologist.

A gastroenterologist promptly performed an upper endoscopy,
which is the insertion of a small camera and device down someone’s
throat.

Evans wrote that she began to cry as she signed the release
forms for the upper endoscopy, fearing she would die during the
procedure and not get to fulfill a different dream — marrying her
fiancé, Bobby Howell.

“I waited a long time for that damn engagement ring and I WILL
marry Bobby Howell DAMNIT,” Evans wrote.

Doctors found the engagement ring in Evans’ intestines, just
beyond her stomach. Evans said her fiancé returned the ring to her
on Thursday.

“Bobby finally gave my ring back this morning – I promised not
to swallow it again, we’re still getting married and all is right
in the world,” Evans wrote.

Barring any further somnambulist snacking, Evans and Howell plan
to get married in May of 2020.

“I’m so grateful that everybody can laugh about it, because it
truly is a very funny story,” she said.
