How They Met
I was working with Jedidiah’s cousin at the time and we had become pretty good friends. One night while we were hanging out she told me she had the perfect guy for me to meet. I at the time was not interested in being in a relationship at all. With out my knowing his cousin and her dad set us up to meet one night, very casual. I admit when he walked in I thought he was absolutely adorable and I did show him a little interest. I played hard to get for about two months determined to give up men and relationships for a while, but he was very persistent. I finally caved and had a coffee date with him, we sat there for hours talking like we were old friends, I knew then that this could be something amazing.
The Proposal
After many efforts to find this cliff we saw online we decided to find a flat spot and take some pictures with the coffee mugs I had made and head back down the mountain. We finished up those few pictures and Jed says actually I have something for you and I think this would be a good time give it to you. He pulled out this mug I totally wanted to buy back at Christmas but never did. Sweet gesture I thought, but then he got down on one knee!! He said “to say Yes to this mug you have to first say yes to me”. “Will you marry me?”. In complete surprise I just dropped to my knees and kissed him, not even sure I even said the words Yes. Just let the kisses speak for me.
The Engagement Ring
It is white Gold band with a twist and on each side of the center stone there are 3 smaller stones that shape a hidden mickey or to me a heart. Also, when you look at it from the front or back the twist in the center make it look like the setting is in a rose.
I knew I wanted it to be white gold and have a twist in the center. When I saw this ring I thought it would just look beautiful on her hand, also the 3 smaller stones on the side resemble a hidden mickey. Disney was our first vacation we went on together, so it is kind of special to us and it sold it for me.
