Family vacations are fun but they are they are even better when you find some treasure on the beach. Aaron Welborn was snorkeling in Alabama as he finds a pair of pearly whites.
“They were pearly white. They were clean. They didn’t have any poligrip or anything on them. They looked brand new,” said Aaron.
He was snorkeling trying to gather up shells for his wife when he came across a set of dentures.
“I go up to her, and I’m hiding them, so she can’t see them. I had been looking for big shells for her, but I’m like, ‘Close your eyes. You’re not gonna believe what I found.’ I was so excited. So, she closes her eyes, and I drop them in her hand, and she opens her eyes up. It’s not a shell. It was dentures smiling at her.”
They belonged to Randy Williams, they noticed his name was engrained on the set. So they now were on a mission to return the dentures to their owner.
“I was like, I have to find this guy. I was like, there’s somebody out there that’s going to want these back. I went on Facebook, ‘Hey, if you know who Randy Williams is that’s got dentures, let me know because I got his’,” said Aaron.
The discovered that Randy had visited the beach where they found the dentures and planned to return them to him in Wisconsin.
“What are the odds we find Randy, but we also find his teeth in the ocean a week later after he lost them. So I was like, this is never going to happen again. We have to make the most of this. So, the dentures adventures was born.”
The couple quickly became a party of three.
“We took them to Krispy Kreme. We took them to Chick-fil-A. We sunbathed on the beach. We built a sandcastle and put them in it. We soaked in the pool. All the things we did, the teeth did with us,” said Blaire.
The couple Aaron and Blaire decided to document the journey, posting photos with the set. Then they shipped them off 800 miles with a note. The Story from the dentures point of view.
“So, she wrote this four-page letter from the perspective of the dentures,” said Aaron.
“It was basically the dentures story from the whole week. They were separated from their dad, Randy, until we found them, and then the whole week all their adventures they had been on. The teeth told the story back to Randy,” said Blaire.
The package also had a warning note so he knew what he was getting into.
“In the story it says to please, please forgive him if his teeth– when he puts it back in– they give him a Southern accent because they’d been hanging out with people that say ‘y’all’ like every other word, so it’s been really fun,” said Blaire.
The owner of the Dentures Randy promised to send the couple a selfie once he secured the package. They also plan on meeting in person next year.
