So I was wandering in to a rabbit hole on a social media outlet wondering if any of you have an amazing entrance video....or better yet a planned dance for either your spouse or Mom/Dad dance? I would love for you to share if you do, or tell about one that you've witnessed??

I've attended one wedding this year, and I attended two last year after the world opened up slightly. There were major adjustments to all three of those but I'm wondering if there are still larger then life weddings, or are they more smaller, intimate venues?

I know we previously talked about different gemstones for engagement rings....but let us not forget that diamonds come in an array of colors. If you could have a different color of diamond, which would you pick? I would probably pick a light pink diamond set in yellow gold(it's all I wear 😉) set with multiple diamonds on the band.
If you have a different color diamond as your engagement ring, please drop pics so that I can love them!

I would hate to think that a love story isn’t forever, but sometimes it isn’t whatever the reason may be….but now you’ve found your forever with someone new, and your living for the moment and you can’t imagine your life without this person! How do you go about a second proposal? Are there any rules of etiquette in regards to second marriage? Would love to hear your thoughts on do’s and don’t’s on second proposal/wedding etiquette.

To those who are currently thinking about a ring, Kay Jewelers is having our Guest Appreciation Event, now through Monday! This is a great time to go ahead and pop the question, or maybe grab those weddings bands for your upcoming event! I love a good deal, and just wanted to pass along this amazing tie bit! Happy Shopping!

Fall will be shortly upon us, and I love everything fall! Give me all the pumpkins, fall leaves, cooler weather and fire pits with s’mores to warm up to. I have to ask, if anyone is obsessed as I am with everything fall, and if this will be incorporated in to their proposal, or wedding? I’m thinking burgundies, shades of oranges, maybe a dark purple or gold? Let nature be your backdrop to your main event, whether its your proposal or wedding!

What do you as a couple take into consideration when setting a date for your wedding? Do you set the date based upon season, availability of the site, or vendor? I think if I were to personally set a date for a wedding, I think I would take more into consideration of the season rather then anything else. What determined your wedding date, let me know your thoughts?

Part 1 was myself and my ASM trying to get this engagement ring made without the recipient knowing.....

We pulled it off!! I handed it off to the soon to be sister in law for pick up and we headed into the end zone for the delivery!!

They had scheduled a beach getaway for the two of them, and I knew it was going to happen!! They took a walk along the beach while the sun was setting, and bam....he got down on his knee and popped the question! My team and I have a group chat, and we all woke up to the picture of the beautiful yellow gold custom ring with a ruby center stone on her finger with simply, "I said YES!!"
They haven't set a date yet, but I couldn't be happier as they start their forever together....I love happy endings!!

Considering a covert operation...I mean getting engaged, and having your significant other not find out prior to the proposal. How would one go about this?

Well, first hand knowledge is that everyone in my store knows that one of us is about to get the question “popped” but she has no clue. We are all succeeding in this by getting this all put together on her days off, and working together with her boyfriend in order to get the perfect ring for his perfect girl.

I can’t wait to show pictures of them once the big question is popped....more to come, time unknown....but I know!

Thinking about getting engaged, and you have both had the discussions of marriage, now what? Deciding on how much time, research, budget are all questions that could arise throughout the beginning of your personal “getting started”.

Consider a time line in which you both would like to establish, maybe in the marriage discussion, a time line of sorts in order to complete your “pre-search,” your maximum budget and how you are going to pay or finance it, what styles of engagements rings you both like, time aside to look and try on different styles, when will you be making the purchase, and finally how will you be proposing? That time line could assist you to staying on track to get to that final proposal point.

I personally am a “lister,” meaning I place everything on a list to keep myself on track and to ensure that I am not missing any aspects, features and benefits to compare items, maybe sales to consider when making larger purchases.

What else would you consider when getting started in your journey? How long and how much research did you do prior to proposing?
