Transcript

Can finally afford to propose to my girlfriend, so today, we get the ring. My girlfriend and I started looking at custom rings after our first anniversary. We wanted to see it in person no we could actually see how it looked like on her finger before we made a decision. That's how I ended up working with Kourosh at Wedding Bands and No, the same guy who gave me the quote back in No. And now he's the one handing the ring to me. The second I saw it, I forgot he was even standing there. I didn't realize how much a diamond catches light until I saw this ring in person. It felt like the sparkles were always moving and genuinely took my breath away. The ring is a two carat lab grown oval diamond with a platinum bad, and he was even kind enough to upgrade the clarity and the color of the dye. Plus, there's is one detail that nobody else would ever know is there. Hidden in the petals is our birthstone, which is something unique just for us. Before I left, Roche gave me a framed photo of the design, our original sketch, and a sketchbook for whatever we design next. He also gave me a copy of the five love languages with a no, looking forward to our engagement. For months, I've been picking up dinner, but now I'm picking up a diamond ring. But honestly, as excited as I am to hold the ring, what I really wanna see is her face when I get down on one knee. The ring secured. Follow to see the proposal.
