A couple’s wedding vows took an alarming turn when the bride’s ring fell into the waters of Lake Tahoe during the ceremony.
Andrew and Marlee Kent, from Vancouver, Washington, were getting married on a dock at the scenic Northern California lake when the groom dropped the ring, according to reports.
Until that moment, everything was perfect, the bride recalled.
"It was going off without a hitch, and I was thinking in my head, ‘No weddings just go without a hitch, or did we just crack the code,’" Marlee told KTXL.
Things went south during the ring exchange.

When Andrew took Marlee’s diamond ring out of its box, it fell onto the dock and through a gap in the boards into the lake.
"Honestly, I thought, this can’t be happening," Marlee told CBS13. "Like, that didn’t just happen."
"Like, what are the chances?" Andrew added.
