After 11 Years, I Said Yes in Front of the Dorm Where We Met!
Hello, fellow ring enthusiasts! 💍✨
I’m beyond thrilled to share a milestone moment in my life with you all! After 11 years of love, laughter, and a few challenges, I finally said YES! And what better way to celebrate than doing it right where it all began—in front of the dorm we shared back in college? It felt surreal and, honestly, so perfect.
Why the Dorm?
For those of you who have been in long-term relationships, you know that every corner can hold a memory. That dorm was where our journey started—late-night study sessions, spontaneous coffee runs, and our very first date in the cafeteria. It felt like the right backdrop for such a significant moment in our lives, surrounded by the ghosts of nostalgia and love.
The Ring Reveal
Now, let’s talk about the star of the show: my engagement ring! 💎 After years of chats about styles, gems, and settings, my partner has truly outdone themselves.
- Gem: A stunning round brilliant diamond—my absolute favorite cut! It sparkles like crazy, especially in the sunlight.
- Setting: A delicate halo setting that adds just the right amount of extra sparkle.
- Metal: I chose white gold; it complements the diamond perfectly and has an elegant yet timeless feel.
