Andrew opened the box then, as he nervously fumbled trying to get the ring out, it fell in between a gap in the pier and right into the lake beneath them.
"Honestly I thought, this can't be happening. Like that didn't just happen," the bride, Marlee, told CNN.

Footage shows the couple on their hands and knees as they spot the ring in the clear waters of the lake.
"My first thought was how deep is it, how cold is it?," Andrew recalled, revealing he was contemplating jumping in the lake to retrieve it, but the pastor advised him not to.
The couple ended up asking for help from a local scuba diving Facebook group, and an experienced diver came to their rescue.
