Short Version of this Story: Quasimodo-like musician marries non-Cornell graduate and gets a sentimental (but low quality) engagement ring made from bronze scraps.

Slightly Longer Version: Waitz Ngan '02 met some dude in med school, started dating him, and told him how much she loved being a chimes master. He got metal scraps from an Ohio company that tuned the bells back in ’88, and had them forged into the engagement ring by a jeweler from “suburban Rochester” (classy.)

The Real Deal: The Cornell Chronicle has NOTHING to report.

Ed Note: The longest possible version of this story can be found here. It features a computer rendering of what the ring will look like.
