Newlywed Couple Asked The Internet To 'Find Letty,' The Owner Of An Old Wedding Ring. Here's What Happened

Faith in humanity restored! 

On April 26, Fritz Sapon shared a post on Facebook on behalf of his wife Sheine Girao-Sapon about a precious item they found in a coffee shop.

In the post, he narrated, "Please help us locate the owner of this ring. This afternoon, I was with my wife having coffee at Starbucks SM Marikina when we found this ring. It has the name “Letty” engraved on it. Based on the details in the ring, it could be a wedding ring of someone who has been married for a long time, thus, it might have sentimental value."

Fritz, 37, and Sheine, 35, who are from Cainta, Rizal, and are both lawyers, got married in December last year.

"For my wife and I who are such hopeless romantics, we hope to find you, dear owner of the ring. We are a newly-married couple and it would be an honor for us to meet you and return this to you," he wrote.

He then used the hashtag, #FindLetty. His post has now over 5K shares and 6K reactions.

'Letty found us'

Today, April 28, Fritz shared an update: "We found Letty!"

He thanked the netizens who helped them share the post, which led the rightful owner to them. Fritz shared, "Sa tulong po ninyong lahat, wala pang 24 hours, we found Letty. Or actually, Letty found us."

He continued, "Her daughter-in-law messaged me yesterday. Aside from the name on the ring, there is a date also inscribed. Not only was she able to confirm the date, even the Starbucks receipt meron pa sya!  God is good!"

"We believe in happy endings. When we found the ring, we knew that we had to do everything to find Mommy Letty." Fritz Sapon

Turns out, the owner of the ring is Letty's late husband, Tatay Avel. "She has a partner ring naman with Tatay Avel’s name on it. Both rings have the same engraved dates. Tatay Avel passed away in 2000, and Mommy Letty has been holding on to Tatay Avel’s ring ever since," he detailed.

Fritz and Letty's family met on April 27 at the coffee shop where they found the ring. They had dinner and got the chance to get to know each other. 

"Mommy Letty is a retired public school teacher. Mahilig sya sa K-drama. In fact, favorite nya si Jung Hae-In  She is a good-natured woman who has a vibrant taste for life. She also loves to travel," he beamed.

"You might be wondering about the date engraved on the ring. It’s May 18, 1969. If you’re holding on to something that old, mag-54 years na po this May, masakit na mawala ito. Kaya it’s an honor for us to have returned the ring to its rightful owner," he added.

'We believe in happy endings'

In an interview with Smart Parenting, Fritz said, "It really feels surreal, actually. My wife and I just got married last December 2022 and we’re such hopeless romantics. We believe in happy endings. When we found the ring, we knew that we had to do everything to find Mommy Letty."

He added, "Lo and behold, in less than 24 hours, we found her. Last night was a priceless moment for us. We not just only found a new friend, we found a mother. We talked for hours and even asked her some advice on marriage. We promised to keep in touch too.

He concludes, "God really moves in mysterious ways."
