A man has proposed to his girlfriend, with a ring made from his amputated right leg, it has been reported.<\/p>\n
Mike Perrett lost a leg after falling off a mountain while volunteering at an Indian orphanage in 2006.<\/p>\n
However, he has refused to let that prevent him from getting on with life and decided to tie the knot with his wife Melita, with the special ring.<\/p>\n
The ring itself is made from the bone<\/a> of his amputated leg, according to a story published on Buzzfeed.<\/p>\n His wife Melita said in an interview with the website: "He was told he was lucky to be alive. The force taken to break the bone<\/a> would have skewered him if his legs had not buckled."<\/p>\n It was reported that Mike wanted to keep some of the bone<\/a> from the surgery, so the team of medics agreed to give him part of his shin bone<\/a>.<\/p>\n Later, in 2011, he arranged to have some of the pieces of bone<\/a> put into the engagement ring.<\/p>\n The ring itself is constructed from platinum which contains two pieces of Mike’s bone<\/a> and a quarter-carat diamond.<\/p>\n
