Salvation Army Bell Ringers Collect Two Golden Rings
BILOXI, Miss. (AP) — Salvation Army bell-ringers in Biloxi collected two golden rings.
Around them was a letter asking that they go to a Christian couple who cannot afford a diamond and are making a lifetime commitment.
Jessica Riddle says she and her mother, Sara Miller, were at the kettle outside the Biloxi Walmart when an older woman painstakingly pushed in a big wad of paper late Nov. 29, refusing help.
WLOX-TV reports that a Gulfport jeweler verified the rings as gold and diamonds worth about $500.
The Coast Salvation Army is holding a contest for the gift. Entrants can describe hardships they have faced and why they feel they deserve the rings and a free wedding.
