Whiteflash-Diamond Playground

We got engaged on Sunday June 22nd. That morning my fiancee Bethany had her graduation ceremony for the PhD program she has been attending. Her aunt and uncle and a bunch of friends where in town and many of them where staying with us for the weekend. After the graduation ceremony we had lunch and then went back to my condo. I told everyone that I had to go pick something up and took Bethany with me without telling anyone where we where going. Our first big date had been at an all day outdoor concert in a park about 45 minutes from my home. I had decided that I wanted to recreate part of that date in the proposal. I drove us to the park taking a route that she wouldn’t recognize and had her blindfold herself when we where a couple miles away. I guided her out into the middle of a field in the park and gave her an iPod headphone to put in her ear. On the iPod I played one of our favorite songs from the band that had been the closing act at the show. The song had been playing during our first kiss. I kissed her while removing the blindfold, gave her a second to figure out where we where and then pulled the ring box from my pocket, got down on one knee and asked her to marry me. Somewhere between tears she said yes! We took the attached photos a few minutes later. We both think the custom ring Whiteflash made is gorgeous and I’m glad I spent the time finding a ring that was just right for her.   -Mike
