In their own words:

Nick and I met on a dating app on Christmas Eve, 2020. We quickly discovered that we shared a love for the magic of the holiday season, classic family traditions, and the timelessness of New York at Christmas. Four years to the date of our first conversation, Nick proposed on the morning of December 24th, 2024 at the spot where we met for our very first date. We spent the first few moments of our engagement strolling through the Columbus Circle Holiday market, and a snow-covered Central Park. We shared the news of our engagement and observed the Christmas holiday with our immediate families, and then with my own stage family at Radio City Music Hall as I performed as a Rockette on Christmas Day for my new fiancé for the first time.

As two creative types who obsess over the details, we found Ken & Dana to be the perfect fit for us. We looked at rings together, hoping to find a jeweler that could capture our love story in a unique, timeless piece. We unanimously decided that our experience at Ken & Dana made us feel our best and most supported.

Ultimately, Nick made the final decision and worked with the helpful team at K&D to design a perfect ring. When he got down on one knee and opened the box, I was stunned. So much so that I almost forgot to say yes! The fine, delicate details and antique-like elegance of this ring amaze me every time I glance at my hand. We are so grateful to have had this experience with Ken & Dana, and to have this beautiful representation of our love story.
