Well, I don't blame her all that much...it was a pretty hare-brained idea.

Men. Pretty moronic idea, she shouldn't marry him on that principle alone! Lord knows where their children would wind up!!!
Probably floating above the treetops with kite tails attached to their shoes.

Maybe the balloon will land on some poor, struggling pastor's wife's yard. She'll pop the balloon and say, "Oh, what a blessing!". And then wear it to General Conference.

You're right. Most likely she'd give it to her husband and he'd shout "Bless GAWD! It's manna from heaven! Thank the LAWD, Jehovah Jireh!" Then he'd hock the ring for half it's value on Ebay and invest the money in Herbalife or some revolutionary combustible engine that runs on hair spray so that he can make some real money...so that he can move to Maui. Well, actually to bless the church of course. But of course.
