Engagement Date: March 7, 2008
Wedding Date: August 7, 2009

Chad and I met waiting tables together at a fine dining restaurant the summer before my junior year of college (although it turned out that we went to the same middle school and high school, but had never met!) Chad and I had instant chemistry and started hanging out that summer. Even though I swore I would never do another long distance relationship (I lived in Washington DC and he in Philadelphia), I quickly changed my mind. We just click and he’s the most fun, supportive, and patient husband I could have hoped for! He still insists he knew he was going to marry me the day we met.

For our two year anniversary, we spent spring break at a romantic bed and breakfast in Asheville, North Carolina. One night, before dinner, he got down on one knee and proposed! I was so excited! And the ring he picked out at Benari is the most beautiful engagement ring I’ve ever seen! It is classic yet unique. I’ve never seen anything like it - he couldn’t have done a more perfect job! We got married last month and I love our wedding bands as well! Thank you to Bobby and all of the staff at Benari for doing a great job!
