Tell us about your ring, and any stories behind it.
My ring is by Scott Kay and was purchased at Samuel Gordon Jewelers in Oklahoma City. Mike and I looked at several rings including this one. I insisted I just wanted a round solitaire, which he did purchase originally. After thinking about it, he returned the solitaire and bought this one.
Describe the proposal! Was it a surprise? Romantic?
Mike and I went to the Melting Pot and then walked back to his nearby apartment. We walked through the botanical gardens that were lit up with Christmas lights. He said he was going to take a picture but instead of pulling out the camera, he pulled out a ring and got down on one knee!
Do you love your engagement ring? Be honest!
Definitely! I would have been happy with a solitaire, but this one has so much personality! I love it!
What's your favorite part about your engagement ring?
The surprise diamonds on the sides!!
We got engaged on:
Samuel Gordon Jewelers, Oklahoma City, OK
My engagement ring was purchased at:
We were engaged on December 18, 2008. Mike wanted to do it before we left on a week-long journey to visit both our families for Christmas. It was a Thursday night and my phone had quit working so we took it to the store to get it fixed. They said we'd have to wait about an hour. Mike insisted that we had to get to the restaurant to meet the reservation time. He volunteered to take my phone into the store the next day, lol! Now I know why he was so helpful!
Advice
- Be careful if you want to take a picture of the ring on, say, the branch of a Christmas tree. 24 hours after Mike proposed we were shoulder deep in a 9-foot live fur. It took the best man/Mike's roommate to find it!
