It’s really not difficult, even if you’re all thumbs. All you need is an ordinary glass, a sheet of paper, a ring, and a box of matches or a lighter. Then follow these steps:
Fill the glass: Fill a glass with water until it’s about 70% full.
Cover with paper: Lay the sheet of paper flat over the rim of the glass, making sure it stays securely in place.
Place the ring: Gently place the ring in the center of the paper.
Light the paper: Here’s the main event: light all four corners of the paper at the same time.
Make a silent wish: As the flames slowly burn toward the center, silently think of a wish or question about marriage.

Now comes the moment of truth. As the paper slowly burns to ash, the instant the ring loses its support is when the answer is revealed. If the ring falls straight into the water with a plop, it means you’re very likely to meet the right person in 2026 and may even get married. If the paper burns away and the ring remains caught on the rim of the glass, or simply doesn’t fall into the water, it suggests this isn’t your year for marriage yet, so you can continue enjoying the freedom of single life.
