An Atlanta woman was taking her daily vitamins on vacation when she accidentally swallowed her diamond wedding ring. 

Dannah McMichael, 39, and her husband, Randy McMichael, were on vacation in Phuket, Thailand, when the unthinkable happened. 

“We went out for dinner and drinks and when I got back, I wanted to shower,” she told SWNS.

McMichael told Fox News Digital that she immediately started choking, but thought it was the magnesium pills that had gotten caught in her throat.

“When I started choking on the pills and noticed my ring was missing, I knew something was wrong,” she said.

McMichael said her husband was relieved, as he thought the massage therapist might have “swiped it” off his wife’s finger. 

Doctors at the clinic told McMichael that she would pass the ring naturally — which she confirmed to Fox News Digital did happen.

“I swallowed it Sunday and passed it Wednesday or Thursday,” she said, adding, “No pain at all.”

McMichael said she was relieved when it came out because she was worried about flushing it down the toilet.
