My engagement ring on my broken finger

Transcript

My ring is super unique because as you can see, it does not fit. I've been a goalkeeper my entire life, I was a professional soccer player and I have broken and jammed my fingers more times than I can count, including my pinky finger. I don't really know what direction this guy is pointing. So when we were getting engaged, my husband got my ring customized with what is called an arthritic shank. And what it does is it opens just like an earring and then you can pull it apart so it gets bigger and then I can put it around my finger and then I just close it, latch it. And now my giant sausage fingers look a little bit more pretty. The joy of sports.
