Jessica Fosterand her husband Geno were leaving their Southern California home to run errands when Jessica decided to clean her wedding ring with a jewelry cleaning pen.

However, as the 31-year-old social media manager cleaned the ring, it fell. At that moment, she and her 29-year-old husband weren’t too worried; they assumed that once they reached their destination, they could get out of the car and search between the seats. But later, after running their errands, they tried searching and realized the ring was nowhere to be found.

That’s when the couple, who had worked together at In-N-Out 10 years ago, started to worry. Geno then decided to get creative and completely tear apart the car to find the lost ring.

“As I removed the front seat, I realized I didn’t see the ring, and it involved me having to actually remove the center console and some of the carpet just to get to it,” Geno, a freelance videographer and editor, tells PEOPLE exclusively. “It seemed like the ring had just absorbed into the interior!”

“I was so confused at first when I removed the seat, since I didn’t find it until I removed the center console and lifted part of the carpet up,” he continues, sharing how he eventually discovered the ring. “I honestly have no idea how it fell the way it did. The BMW’s carpet is separated into two sections (front and rear parts of the car), and it weirdly fell right where they overlap each other and slightly under the side piece of the center console.”

“I was honestly just glad the ring wasn’t damaged at all; that was the biggest thing for me,” he adds. “I knew I would find it in there, but just not the way I did.”

“Green flag honestly,” another person writes.

Someone else says, “He did what needed to be done.”

Jessica says she decided to share the video to highlight her amazing husband. “We have our journey on social, we post what we feel! This one was funny to us — even though it was an obstacle to do,” she says.

Geno explains that he had actually planned to take apart his car to completely change the interior as a project, even before this incident. So, the timing worked out perfectly.

“It’s still not fully together! Ripping it apart was the easy part; putting it back together is what takes the longest,” he says. “But that was my decision to do anyway.”

He adds that he did have a backup plan, too, in case they couldn’t find the ring.

“We both love that ring,” he says. “However, I did get her a ‘cheaper’ version of the same ring to use when we travel. So she would’ve had to use that until I can budget the next ring.”
