PROPOSAL STORY:
One of our favorite bands was going on tour to the Twin Cities, so we decided to go and make a vacation out of it before the school year began. In the months leading up to our trip, I was working with Michelle getting the perfect engagement ring custom made. Megan had mentioned wanting to get professional photographs taken, so I suggested the gardens at Como Zoo and Conservatory. I hired a photographer and rented out the stunning sunken garden for the shoot. During our photo shoot, the photographer adjusted Megan’s hair and, in the process, turned her around. That’s when I went down on one knee. Megan turned back around to see me holding her custom ring, which led to an immediate “yes!” Megan had absolutely no idea about the proposal and loved the ring!

Throughout building Megan’s engagement ring, Michelle, and the team at Gunderson’s Sioux Falls, have been extremely helpful and supportive. They ensured I was led in the right direction with building her lifelong ring. They made the process easy. Whether it was choosing the right metal, selecting the perfect diamond, or finalizing the custom design, their commitment to quality was apparent in every interaction. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to help me create a ring that will be cherished for a lifetime.

THE RING:
2.05 CT pear center diamond with clusters of 3 diamonds on each side and 14KY band
