I met my fiancé in college and we knew we were perfect for each other right away; it really was love at first sight. Of course, we couldn’t get married right away because we were both still in school and without a lot of money.

My fiancé and I talked about marriage often and planned on it occurring right after my graduation, which was two years after his. He knew I wanted a Tacori diamond ring since we met...they were always in the magazines I read and he always laughed about how expensive they probably were. (Of course, I told him I didn’t really care what my engagement ring looked like so long as I was with him.)

My graduation was a beautiful church ceremony on the most picturesque spring day. After receiving my diploma at the altar and posing for my picture with the president of my college, I went to return to my seat when I got the surprise of my life!

My fiancé was standing at the end of the pew on one knee with a Tacori diamond ring in his hand! I started to bawl as soon as I saw him but managed to say yes to the most important question of my life.

Not only did my fiancé pick a romantic time where I was surrounded by my family and friends but he picked the most beautiful ring. Thank you so much Tacori for making my graduation and proposal the most important day of my life!

I’ll never forget it because of the beautiful reminder on my left hand every day!
