In our words:

Will and I got engaged on October 9th, 2024. A little bit about us is that in 2018 we met at work. I was an intern working at an elementary school where Will was working as a custodian. We were coworkers, but nothing more. I ended up leaving the school at the end of the year, thinking I would leave the school behind.
 
Fast forward to April of 2020, we find each other on Hinge. We talked for a little while on and off, but finally meet in person in June 2020. Ever since our first meeting, we clicked as best friends and never stopped talking and hanging out. It wasn't until April of 2021 that Will asked me to be his girlfriend and then about 2 years later we were engaged.
 
Will asked me to marry him by waking me up early on Monday, October 9th to take a Vespa ride (we have a Vespa we ride all around the town we live). We took a ride to a park near my family's house, where a picnic had been set up for us. Will walked me over to the picnic and got down on one knee, asking me to marry him. We have been living on cloud nice ever since!
 
I found Ken & Dana doing my ring research. We made a studio appointment and just fell in love when we walked into the studio and after seeing everything that was offered. I wanted a ring that was unique to me and I could be able to create. It was an even bigger plus knowing that Ken & Dana was a family company and follows strict ethical standards. Seeing my ring for the first time was surreal and each day I fall more and more in love!
