Brian McShea and Stephanie Raynor rummaged through the debris of where their Altadena home once stood to see what they could salvage from the destructive Eaton Fire. While Raynor looked for any items that survived the fire, McShea was looking for a specific item he hoped was still intact.
Through the rubble that was remnants of the material items the couple once had, McShea miraculously found just what he was searching for — the engagement ring he was going to use to propose to Raynor.
“My first reaction was like, ‘Oh, look, here it is,’” he recalled.
To be specific, McShea found the ring under his guitar strings. Right then and there, McShea decided to propose to his sweetheart.
“You think about how much all this pressure, all this perfection you want in the moment that you propose,” he said. “I found it, and it’s like, ‘Here it is. Will you marry me?’”
