Dan and Shannon met during their freshman year at Springfield College. They were next door neighbors in the dorms and bonded over similar music tastes, a love for Boston Sports, and being family oriented. They officially started dating in the summer of 2015!
For their first date, they took a short drive from Springfield MA to Northampton MA to an Italian Restaurant. They walked around the town, found their way to dinner, and finished off the night with donuts for dessert! The rest is history. They have been together since August 1st, 2015!
They have shared countless incredible memories since then - taking trips down to Jamaica and St. John (which was their most recent trip). St. John gave them the best sunset that they have ever seen! They made it through four years of undergrad and Shannon's two additional years of graduate school. They enjoy going to concerts of all genres and love craft beer/brewery hang outs.
Dan proposed on April 3rd 2022! He worked with Shannon's two best friends to distract her and bring her out for an early afternoon coffee date. He was supposed to be at work April 3rd so he took the day off and headed over to Crescent Park in East Providence. He spent quite some time there after grabbing a bottle of prosecco, but after Shannon and her friends wrapped up their coffee they drove over to the park. He was waiting on the stairs leading down to the beach as Shannon and her friends came down. Funny enough, the plan was to be on the beach for the proposal, but high tide had other plans so he stayed up on the stairs.
The proposal went off incredibly, Shannon had no idea it was coming. With the help of her sisters and best friends, they were able to keep everything a secret and successfully surprise her with the ring! Shannon was super excited when she saw her Clear Cut ring, they had talked about ring styles prior so Dan had a great idea of what she wanted. She said she thought it wasn't hers until it finally sunk in that it was official! She absolutely loves her ring!
They got married at the Towers in Narragansett RI in the Fall of 2023! Congratulations to you two! We are SO happy for you!

Brendan and Stephanie met on Hinge! It all began on February 17, 2020. After they swiped right and sparked a riveting conversation, Steph and Brendan embarked on their first date at Trading Post in New York City. Smitten, dates quickly followed to Chelsea Piers, Schilling, Dudley’s, and a walk over the Brooklyn Bridge to Dumbo’s Pebble Beach. Since then, they have been together for 4 years!
Almost as quickly as their relationship accelerated, news of a novel airborne virus progressed. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic. Hysteria ensued along with toilet paper shortages and economic dysfunction. Away from their families, friends, and employers, Steph and Brendan locked down together in lower Manhattan, which was the epicenter of the virus. Fun dates in the Big Apple turned into home-cooked meals, Scrabble, crossword puzzles, and Tiger King.
On April 25, 2020, the young couple was dealt another early test, as Steph fractured her ankle in Central Park. After about four months and devices like Steph’s peg-leg, crutches, and a walking boot, she recovered, which would mark the beginning of a much better chapter.
By September 2020, with no signs of a return to office, Steph and Brendan booked a two-week trip to Colorado. Doing their jobs remotely by day and exploring by night and on the weekends, they became digital nomads and weekend warriors. Steph and Brendan eventually made leaps of faith and gave up their leases, instead making full use of AirBnBs, Turo car rentals, and an America the Beautiful National Park pass. Subsequent stops included Utah, California, Arizona, Florida, South Carolina, Texas, New York, New Jersey, Washington, Oregon, Hawaii, and Colorado twice more. Their love for travel, the great outdoors, and each other grew and grew.
By May 2022, two weeks to stop the spread had become two years. Life on the road, while exhilarating, had taken its toll, and the world was returning to normal. They signed a lease in Brooklyn; this time for more than one month. That would foreshadow their future together if it was not already evident. They continued their vagabond ways while also enjoying city life again and extensive time with each other’s families.
On November 19, 2023, Brendan popped the question in Bodega Bay, California on a beautiful sunny day accompanied by Steph’s parents and brother. Steph instantly said yes and the rest is history.
Steph knew Brendan was going to propose sometime soon but didn't think it would happen on that day during their family "nature walk." She absolutely loved the ring and was so happy with Brendan's creation (she hadn't seen it beforehand!).
They will be getting married in Marin County, California this November 2024. Congrats you two! We are SO happy for you!
Patrick and Isabel met on Hinge! Technically their first date was over FaceTime - Isabel was traveling for several of her friends' weddings and if they waited to meet in person, it was going to be a while! It was both of their first (and last) FaceTime dates and, even over the phone, they clicked instantly. For the first *in person* date about a week later, Patrick picked a restaurant close to Isabel’s apartment, Gage & Tollner, for drinks. It was one of the hottest days of the year and she was running late so she practically ran there and was sweaty and flustered. Once she got to the bar, Patrick chilled her out... which is one of the things that she loves about him, he's so calm. They ordered oysters and chatted for a while. Then he walked her home. On their walk, Patrick noticed Isabel’s shoes (one of her favorite pairs) and said he got the same ones for his mom. The man has taste! The rest is history… they have been together for 1 year and 7 months!
They have shared countless incredible memories! There are so many, but a few of their favorite moments... their first trip together was also the first time that Isabel met Patrick’s friends. They flew to Georgia for the UGA/Auburn game. She was really nervous at first, but ended up hitting it off with the whole crew. Another favorite early memory was the Florence & The Machine show that they went to, on the floor at MSG. Another memorable show was Ed Sheeran during the Summer of 2023.
They have been on a lot of trips since being together, but they both agree that Portugal was their favorite, specifically the Douro Valley. They took a private river cruise one late afternoon. The weather was perfect and they even caught the sunset. Everyone thought that they got engaged from their photos (not yet at least)!
Patrick pulled off the ultimate surprise, which is tough because Isabel is usually the planner and if she is not, she will ask a ton of questions. She was so oblivious that she almost skipped Hair Wash Day! She thought that they were meeting his extended family on the Brooklyn Heights Promenade on their way to dinner at The River Café, a restaurant she’d been dying to try. He knew to pick that restaurant because 1) she would dress up and 2) it's the only restaurant where the promenade is on the way... otherwise, she would have insisted on taking the shortcut under the bridge. He proposed on the promenade just down the street from their apartment while Isabel was in the middle of asking him even more questions (e.g. Where's your family? Are we not going to dinner? Are we not going to The River Café and so on...). After the proposal, they had celebratory drinks at the 1 Hotel and then yes, dinner at The River Café. The day after, Patrick had both of their immediate families fly/drive in for a surprise engagement dinner at Cecconi's in Dumbo.
It was a total surprise! So much so that Isabel almost ruined it steps before. It was freezing and she forgot gloves, so she went to put her hand in his pocket (like she always does when it's cold) and he freaked out! She thought someone was behind her trying to rob him or something. If she looked up she would've seen the photographer, that's how close they were.
Isabel said, “I love the ring so much, it's exactly what I wanted. A month later and I'm still distracted by it! It's so sparkly and perfect.”
As for their wedding, it will likely be Summer 2025 in Maine! Isabel’s dad's family has been going to Mount Desert Island for over 62 years, and it's a special place to their family. Congrats you two! We are SO happy for you!

Alejandra and Santiago met 9 years ago as teenagers during a family vacation in Santa Marta, Colombia, and became friends during the summer. At that moment, they each had a crush on each other, but it was a very short vacation and they were still building a nice friendship. They lost communication after the trip and after 8 years, they found themselves again in February 2022 via a dating app. Immediately, they remembered that unique summer and memories came back. This was the beginning of their love story.
On their first date, they went to have dinner at an Italian restaurant in Bogota on Valentine’s Day. There was a special environment where everyone greeted them for being a nice couple, without knowing it was their first date. As they anticipated, it was a magical date (not quite a magical dinner). Actually, they arrived at the restaurant, ordered a couple of drinks and started catching up from 8 years of stories that they missed. They were in another world, so immersed in the conversation that they forgot to order food and were alerted by a waitress telling them that the restaurant was closing and they needed to find a new place! At that moment, Alejandra checked her phone. It was past midnight and she had 10 missed calls from her sister. From that first date, they both knew everything changed and something very special was growing. As they were saying goodbye that night Alejandra told Santiago a phrase that will be written in their wedding bands, "De cero a siempre contigo.” They have been together for two years since and are getting married in June 2024!
As a young couple, they have experienced many adventures together! Alejandra is 23 and Santiago is 27 right now. During their first year together, they built a love of traveling. Their first trip together was to NYC and at that moment they started dreaming of having a place together. In 2022, they enjoyed life with concerts around Colombia. By the end of the first year Santiago knew she was the one and started planning the marriage proposal. During their second year they had an amazing experience building their new home, living together and bringing a puppy to their house. As a second anniversary gift, they planned a trip to Mexico for the F1 race, hot air balloon flight, and Dia de Muertos, where Santiago had the marriage proposal surprise for her. Their latest adventure, they are moving together to Argentina to live there for a couple of years!
On October 31st 2023, during their anniversary trip to Mexico, Santiago proposed to her in San Miguel de Allende in a beautiful, unique spot in the Rosewood Hotel. Everything was planned for her to think that they were going out for a drink on the hotel's rooftop, but he had a very special place in the hotel reserved for dinner. Santiago arranged everything with the hotel staff to give them a small tour through the hotel's facilities, but they were actually taking them to the reserved spot for dinner. Right before getting to the spot, Santiago told Alejandra that he had a special painting from San Miguel that he had delivered to the hotel, then covered her eyes and took her to a beautiful spot that the hotel prepared for them. Actually, he did have a painting for her, with a letter on the back, that they intend to take with them wherever life takes them. Needless to say, SHE SAID YES!!
It was a beautiful surprise! They talked a lot about getting married before, but she didn't expect it was going to happen at that moment, during the Mexico trip. Months before the proposal, Santiago went to her parents house, as is tradition in Colombia, to ask for her parents blessing. Their reaction was beautiful, they were very excited with the news and helped him plan the surprise for her. At the proposal, her reaction was unbelievable, they both cried, they had a hidden camera recording every moment, it was the best moment of their lives. She loved the ring! Santiago said, “I had a very unique design made by TCC, that was exactly as I imagined. It was absolutely perfect!”
They are getting married in Medellin on June 8th, 2024. They are currently planning every detail for the wedding! They will have a three day celebration from Friday 9th to Sunday 11th, with their closest friends and family, that will be hosted in a place called Zona E, 15 min away from Medellin. Congrats you two! We are SO happy for you!

Christian and Kristina are college sweethearts—they met at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Connecticut where they both attended! They first crossed paths at Kristina's first fraternity mixer which just so happened to be with Christian's frat. Christian, being as outgoing as he is, approached Kristina and her group of sorority sisters and sparked up a conversation. You could say the rest was history!
After being friends for a couple of years, Kristina decided to ask Christian to her sorority's formal as her date. From there on out, they were inseparable! Just as Kristina was about to say "Ciao!" and leave to study in Rome for the semester, Christian asked Kristina to be his girlfriend and a few months later got on his first international flight to go visit her. They have now been together for 7 years.
They have shared countless incredible memories over the years. To date, some of their most special memories include traveling throughout Europe and the US together. Some of their favorite trips include Germany, Italy, California, and Hawaii! Aside from Sacred Heart where they met and started their relationship, the Jersey Shore and Jersey City also hold a special place in their hearts. They spend as much of their summer as they can down the shore and Jersey City is where Christian made the "unimaginable" move from New York to New Jersey—something he joked he would never do! They now both call Jersey City home and moved into their first apartment together last year.
Christian planned to propose on Thanksgiving, but COVID had a different plan. Fast forward to Kristina being healthy, Christian proposed one week later on 12/1/23. Kristina thought she was going to dinner with Christian, her aunt, and her uncle. After they got to her aunt's house to pick them up, Christian was then rushed inside to "help her uncle clean up spilled alcohol and broken glass." A few minutes later, Kristina's aunt convinced her to come inside and "help," sending her downstairs with towels. When she got to the bottom of the stairs and saw Christian and his whole setup, Kristina quickly realized what was happening, threw the towels to the floor, and immediately started to cry. And, obviously SHE SAID YES!
It was a huge surprise—something Kristina didn't think Christian was going to be able to pull off with her Type A planning personality. When she saw the ring, her jaw quite literally dropped. She is in love with it and it could not be more perfect!
As for their wedding, they are currently planning a 2025 New Year's Eve wedding at Nanina's in the Park in Belleville, NJ. Congrats you two! We are SO happy for you!

]]>Dani and Devan met in September of 2019 during a trip to Croatia for Yacht Week. They spent the next seven days getting to know each other and having the time of their lives -- the rest is history. After Yacht Week, they met two weeks later for their first date at a rooftop hotel bar in Hollywood called Mama's Shelter. They grabbed a cabana and spent the entire night talking -- it was wonderful.
They have officially been together for 3 1/2 years. They became official the week before COVID started on a spontaneous trip to Las Vegas. The next week, the world shutdown and they split time between their two homes in Los Angeles throughout the pandemic.
They have shared countless incredible memories over the years! They absolutely love traveling and have enjoyed so many amazing trips together - Mykonos, Santorini, Tulum, The Hamptons, Vail, Bahamas, London, Cabo San Lucas -- the list goes on.
They traveled to Cabo as an early birthday trip for Dani to try out a new resort - Nobu Los Cabos from December 15 - 18, 2023. They decided to look at some potential wedding venues (just in case) as Dani has always talked about wanting to get married in Cabo. During their last tour at the Waldorf Astoria Cabo, Devan worked with the amazing concierge Selene to set up a romantic beachside proposal. There was a beautiful display of red roses and candles in the shape of a heart and a fireworks display right after. It was magical and perfect - they had champagne and they were both so full of emotion and happiness.
It was a total surprise for Dani! Each aspect of the proposal was a surprise. The biggest surprise was that her family and closest friends flew out and were hiding at the Waldorf above them watching the proposal happen in real time. Once Devan proposed, they popped out and said surprise! Dani was blown away and so happy. She was ecstatic about the ring. While they chose the diamond together, seeing the ring in its setting was a surprise. She was so happy. They enjoyed dinner at Rosa Negra a few hours later and partied until the early morning. It was a perfect day! Devan said, “We are so grateful to The Clear Cut for all their help in finalizing the diamond of her dreams.”
As for their wedding, they are still deciding on wedding plans, but plan to have an engagement party in Los Angeles in the coming months. They are still considering Cabo and Southern California venues for the big day. Congrats you two! We are SO happy for you!
Annie and Ryan met while in school at the University of South Carolina. For Ryan, it was love at first sight at his fraternity's tailgate. For Annie, it took a little while to come around, but thankfully he was persistent and knew she was the one!
Ryan said, “You could call watching Annie swing a bat at a llama shaped piñata our first date because that’s when I knew” but their first real date was going into NYC for the night. They went to the bar at the Baccarat Hotel where they dreamt of a life in NYC together, snuck into the 230 Fifth rooftop bar, and finished the night grabbing sandwiches from a famous Princeton shop called Hoagie Haven!
They have been together for a little over seven years now! They have been so fortunate to have been able to share some unbelievable adventures together: traveling abroad throughout Europe while Annie studied in Italy, starting their life together in NYC, adopting their two insane maltipoos (Louie and May-May), and of course getting engaged!
The plan for the proposal was a total surprise. While Annie constantly did her best to try to figure out when, where and how it was going to happen, Ryan somehow pulled off the surprise.
With the help of another couple they are best friends with (Zach and Cath), they were able to convince Annie that she was going to a brand event being held at an undisclosed location as celebrities were being invited. Deep down, Ryan thought Annie might know something was up, but she openly stated that if she wasn’t getting engaged then at least she would get some free merch and meet celebrities (so Ryan basically created his own competition for the day).
On the day of the engagement, Ryan dropped Annie off at their apartment early so they could get their ride to the event. As soon as she was out the door, he sprinted down to his car and quickly changed outfits, hopped on citi bikes with Zach and zoomed up into midtown to beat them to the hotel.
Annie and Cath were taken to David Yurman as a first stop, before then being brought to the Baccarat Hotel. Annie was met at the entrance to the restaurant, led back to the bar where Ryan was standing there waiting. He proposed, they had a glass of champagne in the same bar seats that they spent those moments together 7 years prior. It was a magical experience and he truly can’t believe that he pulled it off.
Annie was so surprised and they were happy, crying, laughing, all of the emotions. Ryan found out the associate at David Yurman spoiled the surprise by accident by saying “oh you’re here for the engagement, right?” (couldn’t believe it), but Cath quickly said it was a whole scavenger hunt to throw Annie off. She thought the Baccarat was just stop #2 and absolutely did not expect to see him there! It was the first time she had seen the ring fully completed and she was in awe. It was so worth it to design the components together, but kept her from seeing it assembled to maintain the surprise!
They are currently working with a wedding planner to plan a 2025 wedding in Mallorca, Spain! Congrats you two! We are SO happy for you!

Jessie and Brady met the way a lot of post COVID couples meet, Hinge! Jessie had promised a friend that the next 3 guys she matched with, she would go on at least two dates with instead of only judging off of one date. Brady was the next guy she matched with. Brady, was a hopeless romantic waiting to find someone who checked off all the boxes. Jessie swiped right on Brady's finance bro headshot and after a few message exchanges, Brady asked to meet in person. Fun fact: Brady's 3 close friends met their long term significant others on Hinge all within 1 year of each other!
Their first date was May 11, 2021 at Cactus Mexican Restaurant in Downtown Kirkland, Washington. It was a sunny hot spring day in May. Jessie arrived first, texting him "Hey, I'm outside. Wearing a jean jacket and flower mask" (COVID times). Brady arrived soon after and was excited to see Jessie looked the same if not better than her pictures. During the 3+ hour date, Jessie and Brady swapped stories about their passions for their jobs, fitness, friends and family. After walking Jessie to her car, Brady called his best friend to tell him about his amazing date. Jessie thought it was a great date but was too busy to think deeper into it. Jessie fulfilled her promise, giving Brady a second date. During this date, Brady's crush built even more and Jessie was convinced there was something special. They have been together for 2.5 years.
By August, they became official boyfriend and girlfriend and have shared countless incredible memories. In November 2021, Jessie and Brady got their 8 pound Shih-Tzu, Rosie. February 2022, Brady surprised Jessie with a romantic trip to Mexico! April 2022, Brady and Jessie moved in with each other and their dog, Rosie. Brady talked Jessie into moving away from the city to the suburbs and Rosie loves having her parents under the same roof everyday. They love to host friends and family for Sunday RedZone football and dinner parties, and hosted the 2023 Thanksgiving with both families at their home.
But the biggest milestone of all was November 2023, when Brady proposed to Jessie. Brady began planning with Jessie's sisters in July, 2023. He knew her sisters would know just what Jessie would want and how to get it. Brady and the sisters worked with The Clear Cut to find the perfect ring. With the ring secured, Brady planned a romantic getaway to The Salish Lodge in Snoqualmie, Washington. Brady went with his mom the week prior to map out the perfect proposal location. The night of the proposal did not go as planned. He had planned a romantic fireside proposal in a private room - but when they walked in, there were 10 other guests drinking wine and playing Scrabble in sweatpants. This was not the romantic setting Brady had envisioned, so he scrambled and improvised with the helpful Salish Lodge staff. The staff quickly jumped into action and set up an alternative private room upstairs filled with flowers and candles. As soon as he got down on one knee, all the words he had planned to say went out the window as he was too nervous and flustered to get out a coherent sentence. The ring did all of the talking that was needed for Jessie to say yes :) After Jessie said yes, Brady had a whole celebratory engagement weekend planned.They celebrated their engagement with a surprise engagement photoshoot, a spa day, and romantic dinners.
As for if it was a surprise, Jesse said, “I thought it was a coin toss, I was hopeful since my whole family was staying with us the following week. I did not think he would propose the first night or inside when he took me to such a beautiful outdoor location. He had convinced me that he was not going to use The Clear Cut so I was very excited and surprised to see the ring box. The ring is more perfect than anything I could have chosen… the size and shape is perfect, practical and something I can wear at home and work.”
They are hoping to have their wedding on their dating anniversary May 11, 2025. They are still working on venues and all the details. They can't wait to use The Clear Cut for the wedding bands. Congrats you two! We are SO happy for you!

]]>Brittany and Clay met in college at Duke University! They honestly can't remember the exact day that they first met, but had many mutual friends and gradually began spending more time together. Two of their close friends started dating (and a few other friends followed - all of the couples are still together luckily!) and gradually they began spending more time around each other at parties and around campus.
Their first "date" was a bowling date function through Brittany's sorority at the end of junior year of college. They just went as friends, but had such a fun time. They kept in touch here and there over the summer, went on a few other dates throughout their senior year, but didn't start officially dating until their last semester! After knowing each other for a while, things got serious pretty quickly and they made the decision to try 3000 miles of long distance after only being officially together for 3 months, but as they say, when you know, you know!
They have been together for close to six years! Their relationship has made it through bi-coastal long distance - when they first graduated college, Brittany was living in New York and Clay was in LA. Sometimes visits would consist of a weekend trip that basically was a little over a day with all of the travel time! Clay moved to NY after Brittany started medical school, and they finally moved in together in Long Island City in September 2021.
They have shared countless memories over the years. Some of their best memories have been trips together - when they first started dating, they lived so far apart that basically every visit was a "trip" in itself to NY and LA. They also recently went to Portugal together which was unbelievable and very romantic (although Clay waited to propose until after they came back, so it would be easier to celebrate right away with friends and family). Some of the highlights have also been professional - they wouldn't have been able to accomplish without each other's support. Clay made a major career pivot to the finance sector and has been very successful working in credit research, and Brittany graduated from medical school a month before their engagement and has been juggling wedding planning with the first few months of being a doctor and navigating residency!
Clay proposed on June 11th, 2023. He suggested going to Roosevelt Island since he hadn't been and Brittany had mentioned wanting to check out the Panorama Room, a rooftop bar with a view of their neighborhood of LIC and Manhattan. After having cocktails, they took a walk and suddenly he got down on one knee and Karlie, their close friends' wedding photographer, popped out and started snapping photos! After some tears and lots of photos, they went back home and their close friends surprised them at a bar, and then they celebrated with their families at dinner!
The proposal was not a major surprise because they have been together for so long and Brittany was very involved in designing her ring, but even after 3 months they both cannot get over how beautiful it is and are so excited to finally be engaged! They said, “Olivia did such a phenomenal job and we are so grateful to have worked with her to design such a special piece!”
They recently booked their wedding at The Liberty Warehouse in Brooklyn for May of 2025. The venue has been on their radar for some time and they are so excited to bring their loved ones from near and far to celebrate their love and have an amazing weekend full of dancing and good vibes! Congrats you two! We are SO happy for you!

]]>Garrett and Evyn met in high school through a mutual friend in San Diego during the Summer! Their first date was at a place called “Great White” in Venice, CA. They have been together for 3 years since!
They have shared so many incredible memories over the years. Evyn traveled with Garrett and his team during the playoffs in 2022. They grew closer than ever during that time. Getting to celebrate on the field together after each Series win all the way to the World Series… it was so special.
They recently went on a 10 day trip to Costa Rica. They had the most amazing time traveling in a country that they had never been to. Even though there were a couple travel hiccups, (canceled flights, etc.) they always find a way to solve any situation together. Except for one… Garrett didn’t stop at Taco Bell on one of their road trips and he will never hear the end of that. LOL!
Garrett proposed on Sunday, December 10th at Chileno Bay in Cabo. He had a private dinner prepared for them overlooking the ocean with a whole speech ready for the proposal, but as soon as he started speaking, he just blacked out and forgot how to speak English. He spoke some jumbled up love words, got down on a knee, and asked, “Will you marry me?” After being told that he had the box upside down, Evyn said “yes” and they had the most amazing night together eating, drinking and listening to live music.
The proposal was a surprise! Evyn knew that it was going to happen at some time, but she never thought it would be that weekend in Cabo. She thought it would be Christmas time.
As for the ring, Evyn saw the diamond on Instagram and immediately fell in love and told him how much she wanted it. She knew what diamond she was getting and even knowing that, she was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by how beautiful the ring is in person. She’s OBSESSED to put it lightly.
They plan to get married in December 2024. They have a venue in Mexico picked out but want to keep the location private. Congrats you two! We are SO happy for you!
]]>Taylor went to college with Bryan's sister (University of Rhode Island), and they had met a few times in brief interactions, but really first spent time together during Memorial Day Weekend in Newport, Rhode Island at the start of Summer 2019! Bryan asked Taylor to go on a moped ride and took her along Ocean Drive in Newport and that was really the start of it all!
During that same Memorial Day Weekend Bryan asked Taylor on a date (at the time he was living in Newport, and she was living in Boston). The next week he drove up to Boston and took her to a taqueria and oyster bar in a local neighborhood. A few frozen espresso martinis were definitely enjoyed together! In less than a month from their first date, they knew they wanted to be in a relationship.
They have been together for 4.5 years since then!
There have been so many special moments to highlight over the course of their relationship, but the real blessing overall has been the sense of community that they have developed. Their friends have blended so seamlessly together, and it's been so special to watch their community double in size over the years! They are so grateful for the growth that they experienced as a couple, but also for the friends and family who have loyally supported them along the way!
Bryan proposed on December 2, 2023, at the Bethesda Fountain in Central Park! Taylor has always loved NYC at Christmas time, so Bryan proctored a plan that included a horse-drawn carriage ride in Central Park with a stop at the fountain since neither of them had been before. It was truly a Hallmark moment they will never forget.
Taylor had some suspicions leading up to the proposal, but she never imagined he would propose in NYC! She was delightfully surprised and absolutely adores the ring and the thought and care Bryan put into making it a perfect day.
As for their wedding, they love the fall season and are aiming for Fall of 2025. Congrats you two! We are SO happy for you!
]]>Lucas and Mackenzie met at the local gym. Being from a small town, they knew of each other, but never actually talked before!
Even though they had hung out a few times before, their first date was when they went out for supper and some axe throwing! Lucas won but Mackenzie still claims she let him win!
The rest is history! They have been together for 9 months since!
They have shared so many special memories since then including multiple concerts, trips to Victoria (BC), Nashville, a family trip to Newfoundland & Labrador, and most recently a trip to Katy Texas. They just recently bought a house together and get possession in January 2024.
Lucas proposed Nov 18th in Katy, Texas. It was before supper in front of a beautiful pond setting when he popped the question!
Even though Lucas did his best to throw her off, Mackenzie said she had an idea it was happening on the trip. She was involved in the design of the band but didn’t know much about the diamond. She was very happy and loves her ring so much! Exactly what she had hoped for.
As for their wedding, they don’t have a venue locked down as of yet but have a good idea of where they want it in the Summer of 2025.
]]>Andrew and Jessica met through a dating app in October 2020, which was at the peak of the pandemic! Andrew seemed too good to be true but Jessica’s best friend assured her that he was going to be just as amazing as he seemed and sure enough, he was.
Their first date was November 1st, 2020. They met at a halfway point between their towns and went for sushi. They quickly realized how much they enjoyed each other and decided to go to a movie. Since it was during the pandemic there weren’t many movies showing and it had been so long since either of them had been to a movie theater. They were the only ones there!
Andrew is from a small town in Mississippi and grew up on a farm and Jessica is from a big city in Alabama so it has been an interesting but fun time learning their different ways. One of the most memorable moments in their relationship is when they got snowed in at Andrews family’s farm and they couldn’t go anywhere for a few days. They made the most of it and got to spend lots of quality family time together.
Andrew proposed on December 30, 2022 in Birmingham, AL at The Vulcan. It was absolutely gorgeous and it overlooked the city.
Jessica knew the proposal was coming, but the location was a complete surprise. It was also a huge surprise that Jessica’s parents and best friend had traveled to see the proposal. Andrew had also hired a photographer who was sitting on a bench disguised as a tourist. Jessica and Andrew worked together with Olivia to design the perfect ring so that part Jessica had an idea about. Seeing it in person was completely different though because it was finally here and it was theirs!
They are getting married on December 2nd, 2023 at Camp McDowell where Jessica grew up going to summer camp. Congrats you two! We are SO happy for you!

Grayson and Maddie grew up in the same town, Maddie being one year younger than him. Grayson was out eating dinner with his friend group at the same restaurant where she was with her friend for a birthday party. Maddie added him on Snapchat while they were there, and he instantly responded before walking into the other room and talking to her. He must have said something really smooth because they have been together ever since. What makes the story even better is that neither one of them could drive. She was 14 and he was 15!
Their first date was at a local Mexican restaurant on November 3, 2016. There was a community pep rally that night. Grayson ended up driving to their date and the pep rally alone as a 15-year-old. He still isn’t sure if their parents know this story! About halfway through the date, they start talking about the new house being built just up the road. Of course, once they were done eating, they decided to hop in the car and go see it. They were almost there when, all of the sudden, blue lights and sirens came flying up behind them. Grayson thought his life was over. Luckily, the cop had somewhere else to be and did not pull him over. What a rush that was! And… the rest is history!
They have shared so many incredible memories over the years. The most memorable story for them, by far, was the weekend of 6/22-23/23, when they took a trip for the surprise engagement. Grayson wanted to make the engagement an event to remember rather than just a moment, so they made the short trip to Nashville after she got off work Thursday night. Grayson was running late because he was helping get things for the surprise party while she was at work. He picked her up and they took off. Got to the hotel at 9:15pm, and had to figure out how to valet a car, threw their stuff in the room, and took off running to try to make it to Miranda Lambert's Bar before dining closed. As they walked up the stairs, they were confronted by the worker with the sign that said, "diner closed". Morale was low. Maddie was getting blisters on her leg from her boots because he forgot the Band-Aids, and they had to come up with an alternative place to eat with everything closing soon. They came up with a plan to go get Band-Aids from the nearest Walgreens. They rented scooters and took off (without looking to see if they were open). When they got there; it was closed!
At this point, Grayson was upset. This is not how the best weekend ever was supposed to start and Maddie could tell. So, then they just walked, to go find food, Maddie’s feet still hurting. They decided to go get dinner at a food truck and felt like they salvaged the night. Then, they walked back up to the hotel and got ready to go to bed, and there was no hot water. The entire hotel's hot water system was broken. It was laughable at that point! Then, they realized that they did not pack a single charger. Even with all that happening, Maddie was sure to remind Grayson often that it was going to be okay, and they were making memories.
On that same Nashville trip, the next morning, Grayson woke up to "go get them breakfast". Maddie’s mom and sister replaced him to help her get ready. Then he met his mom, the photographer, and the videographer at the venue, Cheekwood Estates Botanical Gardens. Maddie had sent him this place multiple times on Instagram over the years. It was absolutely smooth sailing from there and went perfectly. Thankfully, the proposal was the complete opposite of the night before.
The proposal was a semi-surprise! Maddie knew that Grayson had the ring, but she knew absolutely nothing about when and where or who the ring was from. The reaction was tears. She said she could hardly see the ring initially because of the tears. It glimmered more when he put it in her finger than any other time he had seen it. “We were both amazed,” they said!
As for the wedding, they haven't nailed down the details and are just enjoying being engaged! Congrats you two! We are SO happy for you!

]]>Matt and Michelle met on Hinge! Their first date was at a Spanish tapas place on the Upper East Side. Matt arrived early (as usual) which worked out because the restaurant was PACKED. Instead of having Michelle try to find him, he stood up and met her at the door. Little did they know they would take a trip to Spain together a year later!
Matt and Michelle quickly realized this date was different than every other first date they had ever been on. They were shocked to learn just how much they had in common! They talked for hours while the tapas and sangria flowed. They have been together for two amazing years since!
Matt and Michelle have a lot in common! Their last names are 2 letters apart, their birthdays are 4 days apart and their fathers have the same exact birthday right down to the year! They're both avid travelers and have made two trips to Europe - one to Spain and one to Italy this past summer! Each trip has been better than the last and they hope to continue the trend!
Michelle came home from work on a Thursday to a dimly lit apartment, which was odd since Matt works from home. She saw bouquets of flowers all around their apartment and realized what was happening. Matt wrote a note "Meet me on the roof". Michelle, now in tears, ran up to their roof top where Matt was waiting for her! It was intimate and perfect!
As for if the proposal was a surprise… yes and no! Big picture, Michelle knew it was coming, but in the moment (especially on a Thursday) it was a surprise! Michelle LOVES the ring. Matt did his homework ;) and went to see quite a few jewelers in and around NYC. The Clear Cut was by far the best to work with! Matt can't say enough good things about Olivia, Alex, and the team.
They are still in the initial planning phase for their wedding but are hoping for a Summer 2024 wedding! Congrats you two! We are SO happy for you!

]]>Chi and Mark met in college! They both took general physics and they sat on the opposite sides of the classroom. They didn't really talk to each other besides the small conversations before class. In the following year, they were in the same physics II class and ended up being lab partners! Mark would basically do the lab prep and take charge of the lab activity (Chi hated physics)... he has been her partner since!! AWW!
Their first date was at Ocean Beach in San Diego. It was a dark and rainy night (rare for San Diego) and they went bar hopping! They ended the night on a long walk down the ocean beach pier, it holds a special place in their hearts!
They have been together for 7 years since and the majority of their relationship has been long distance since they both started grad school in different states. They have shared so many incredible memories over the years! They are both trail runners and love the outdoors. When they’re back in San Diego, they enjoy surfing and stuffing their faces with carne asada fries and burritos! One of their favorite trips was probably to Miami! They loved the warm waters, delicious food, and the entire vibe!! After Miami, they took a long road trip from Atlanta to Washington driving through and stopping in 14 states. They have too many memories to count together, but one of their favorites was when they got a mini Aussie in 2021. Her name is Bentley and she is the sweetest.
Mark proposed in Banff, Canada at the end of June 2023 at the crack of dawn. The location had been on Chi’s bucket list for YEARS and their trip in 2020 got canceled due to the pandemic. They were finally able to make it and went on a week-long camping trip. He proposed on their second day before their 10 mile hike, what a way to start the day! Mark knew that she wanted a very intimate proposal and to have it just be the two of them, it was perfect!
It was a total surprise!! Chi had a feeling that he was going to do it sometime this year. She said, “I was shocked at how beautiful the ring was - OBSESSED!!” As for their wedding, they will be getting married in San Diego, CA early 2024! Congrats you two! We are SO happy for you!
]]>Katie and Jamison met while working at the Ritz-Carlton. They worked on the same team so they had to keep a low profile. They have both since left the hospitality industry to work in tech, but for about a year and a half they had a bit of a secret office romance!
They’re both huge foodies and cocktail snobs so for their first date, they started off with a lunch date at a Mexican restaurant in SF's Mission District. They both LOVE Mexican food and margaritas are one of their favorite cocktails so after they ate they ended up at a rooftop bar and watched the sun set. It was a cute first date!
They will have been together for 7 years next January and have shared so many incredible memories over the years. They love traveling together and have been to some pretty amazing places: Mexico, Costa Rica, Greece, Japan. Their first trip together was in Cabo San Lucas and every year since then they plan on summer trips abroad. They are big outdoorsy people too, they often make camping trips out at Joshua Tree, Yosemite, and Lake Tahoe.
They both love music and take every chance they get to see live music. Whether that is concerts, festivals (they love Burning Man), or just spinning DJ sets at home for their friends. Music is a huge part of both of their lives.
A major highlight of their relationship has been adopting their rescue chihuahua mix, Pika. She is a Tijuana street dog and ever since they saw her at the rescue shelter they fell in love. She brings them so much joy and love and they can't imagine life without her.
When they were on vacation in Tulum, Mexico... Jamison had booked a private cenote tour with a couple's massage in the jungle. They had a small picnic brunch and as they toasted with some bubbles, he played one of Katie's favorite songs, got down on one knee and asked if she would marry him. It was a huge surprise! She absolutely loves the ring and started crying.
They haven't discussed much in terms of wedding plans yet, but whatever they end up doing the food, music, and drinks will be the most important component outside the location and venue. Congrats you two! We are SO happy for you!
]]>Aharon and Steph met through mutual friends. For their first date, Aharon took Steph to an Italian restaurant in Santa Monica. He tried to be a show off and ordered a whole bottle of wine instead of just on glass and was certainly not expecting the price tag that came with that bottle, but it was certainly the best decision he ever made because they have been together ever since… over 2 years!
They have shared so many special memories since then. They are a couple that does not like to stay put. They love adventuring whether it be on the beaches of Mexico, to snowboarding in the mountains in the winter or traveling through Europe. Their biggest adventure that they can’t wait for is the newest member of their family, a baby girl!
Aharon proposed in Santorini, Greece Oia, on the top of a hill with the sunset! He tried to make it one of the most memorable moments in both of their lives and it certainly was special.
Aharon said he couldn’t control his nerves at dinner so he had a feeling that she knew something was up and when he had to cut dinner short and leave in the middle of eating, she definitely knew something was up! Nonetheless she was surprised when it actually became a reality that he was proposing!
They plan to get married next September in Southern California with their closest family and friends in attendance. Congrats you two! We are SO happy for you!
]]>Sara and Scott met at work, he was actually chosen to be her 'buddy' and take her to lunch during her first week and answer questions that she had as a new hire. Turns out, he forgot to take her to lunch so after a couple weeks she walked over to his desk and asked when lunch was. He finally took her to lunch and had a nice time, but they didn't start to date until a few months after that!
Their first date happened on the slopes in Park City! They met there for a ski weekend with some other work friends, and all had a fun night at their rental house. The next day Scott asked Sara to ski with him and maybe technically it was not a date, but after a few runs down the mountain it was clear that they both were interested in spending more time together! The rest is history! They have been dating since mid January 2021!
They have shared so many incredible memories over the years. They moved in together in August of 2021, not too long after they started dating. They lived down in the Financial District in a great apartment where they hosted fun parties with many friends and family. They moved to London together with work in October of 2022 and it has been the adventure of a lifetime. They have been lucky enough to visit places like Zermatt, Madeira, Provence, Croatia, Greece, and hope to continue to travel more in the coming years.
Scott proposed at Sara’s parents house in Dorset, Vermont. They were home from London for about a week and wanted to get engaged in the US so they could see family and friends after. Scott is quite the chef and Sara was out doing errands, she came back and he had set up an amazing lunch on one of the outdoor decks. They had a wine or two and then he popped the question :) they went to an amazing meal at the Equinox hotel after (which will be one of their wedding hotels as they are getting married at Hildene in Manchester). They then drove back to New York and celebrated with family and friends at an impromptu engagement gathering at Hotel Hugo a couple nights later.
Sara said, “The ring was truly everything I have ever wanted. My mom has an emerald cut and I have grown up admiring it. Scott knows me very well and knew I wanted to be apart of helping make the ring, so I was a bit more hands on than most I would assume haha. I cried when I saw it even after knowing what the basic design was and can't stop staring at it! I am so lucky and The Clear Cut made my dream ring come true!”
Sara and Scott will get married at the Hildene estate in Manchester, VT in October of 2024. It will be a Friday wedding so they will do a tailgate style after-wedding party at Sara’s parents house in Dorset, VT (where Scott proposed and a very special place for them)! Congrats you two! We are SO happy for you!

A mutual friend invited Stefania to a hangout at Ryan’s apartment. They hit it off and made plans to hangout the next day.
For their first date, they went to a bar in the East Village for a drink and ended up staying there and hung out for over 4 hours! The rest is history. Since then, they haven’t gone a day without talking and have been together for almost 3 years.
They have shared so many incredible memories over the years. They both love to travel so they’ve been to many different cities and countries around the world together!
Ryan proposed on a beautiful trip to Sicily, Italy as they were walking along the coast! They are planning on getting married in Cartagena, Colombia in early 2025. Congrats you two! We are SO happy for you!
]]>Mayank and Ananyaa are high-school sweethearts! They were really good friends in middle school, but lost touch for a while and then were re-introduced by a close mutual friend.
Their first date was a movie-date where a certain ‘someone’ picked a scary movie, followed by their favorite meal! The rest is history. They have been together for 12 years! They have been together since high-school, moved cities and countries for and with each other.
They have practically grown up together and have been an integral part in each other’s lives all throughout. It’s almost like they have known each other ever since they were born! They have shared countless memories. Some highlights include:
- They went to grad school at Columbia together and survived the pandemic, which in turn made them even closer.
- They love traveling and exploring new places and food. They’re both suckers for new experiences and are two people who would never say ‘no’ to any plan. One of the most fun memories are from an impromptu drive from SF that turned into a 4 day road trip to LA and nearby places - all they had were their phones & that’s it! They’re both serious planners so this was quite an adventure for them.
- Another memory that’s etched in their hearts is kayaking at midnight in the bioluminescent bay in Vieques, Puerto Rico - so magical!
- This year they’re on a spree to camp at national parks in the US (they’ve been to 6 already) and explore other countries (heading to the land of baguettes in late Sept)
Mayank made Ananyaa’s dream proposal come true! Everything was so magical. Maasai Mara has always held a really special place in her heart since childhood and she has always wanted to go there. And she loves sunsets. On the big day, they were out on a day-long safari and Mayank had planned a sundowner proposal. They were out on an evening safari when the jeep pulled into a spot in the middle of the Mara grassland with a tent and bonfire set up and music playing in the background (definitely not a common sight in the Mara). She still had no idea what was happening! Right when she got out of the jeep, Mayank went down on one knee and said the sweetest words and popped the question! The answer was a definite yes (long one in the waiting) and they popped open the champagne and celebrated the wonderful news, with the beautiful sunset in the backdrop.
This was not it - he had even planned for a 5 course meal afterwards in a gorgeous treehouse setting, all under the stars, where he showed her a short film he had made which had messages from their family. Everything about the proposal was just so magical and thoughtful - they couldn’t stop smiling for the next whole week if not more!
The proposal was definitely a surprise - she had no idea he had been planning all this. She loves her ring! It is stunning! They’re planning on getting married in the second half of 2024 and more importantly amidst nature. Congrats you two! We are SO happy for you!
]]>Ross and Abbey met at The Ohio State University back in 2014. They were good friends all throughout college until their senior year when they realized that they had more feelings toward each other :)
Ross and Abbey were both in Greek life at OSU and one late night at a party, Ross asked Abbey to study with him for exams at the library the next morning. Abbey thought there was little chance of that actually happening, but Ross showed up at Abbey's door the next day with coffee in hand and they went to study together. From that moment on, they have been attached at the hip! It took them a while to realize that they were more than good friends, but once they did, they didn't waste time. Ross took a job out of Madison, Wisconsin following college graduation and Abbey took a leap and quit her job to move out there to be with him. They lived there together for 3 years in Madison and that was the most special time of their lives. They were truly on their own for the first time with no family nearby and they always say that they grew up together in Madison. They also got their chocolate lab, Bane, in Madison!
Ross proposed on July 7th, 2023. He took Abbey out to a nice rooftop restaurant and they walked the Scioto River riverfront after dinner together where he proposed. It was just them two and it was perfect. The next day, Ross and family and friends surprised Abbey at one of the local wineries with a beautiful engagement party.
Timing was a surprise, but Abbey helped Ross pick out the ring with The Clear Cut. Abbey has followed The Clear Cut on Instagram for years and knew that is where she wanted her ring from. Although Abbey helped pick it out and knew what it was going to look like, it was still a dream seeing it in person. Abbey is super happy she was involved in the selection process and this is the ring of her dreams!
Abbey and Ross plan to get married in St.Thomas in 2024, where Abbey's parents were married in 1994. They are going to host a big party for friends and family in Columbus, Ohio. Congrats you two! We are SO happy for you!
]]>Nicole and Chance met in college at the University of Oklahoma, but were always just friends. They reconnected after college when their two best friends got married. Now… it’s their turn!
Their first date was at an Italian restaurant in Houston and Nicole said, “it was the most comfortable night of my life! I’ve never felt such an immediate connection to someone.” And the rest is history. They have been together ever since!
At the beginning of their relationship, they were long distance so all of their dates were extra special. They have always said, when you know you know! They knew that they wanted to marry each other about a month or two in.
Nicole and Chance have shared countless incredible memories together. They have family all across the country so they have enjoyed spending the last year together traveling and seeing their families.
On their latest trip to Maine, Chance proposed at one of Nicole’s favorite private beaches. Nicole has a family beach house there and has visited every summer since she was a kid. It was his first time to Maine, but he coordinated Nicole’s favorite spot with her mom. He proposed to her on the rocks and after they had a picnic. It was extremely romantic and intimate.
He picked out the ring all on his own and it’s absolutely stunning! Nicole said, “He picked an elongated cushion because he wanted something rare and unique to us. I LOVE my ring!”
They are hoping to get married in Maine, but will see how everything ends up turning out. Congrats you two! We are SO happy for you!
]]>Danny and Tessa went to high school together! They had first period history together their freshmen year. They became friends over the years and were always interested in each other but didn’t start dating until the spring of their senior year.
Their first date was at an Italian restaurant called Pucinella’s. Tessa drove them there and they both were incredibly nervous, but once they started talking it was all so easy.
Some of their favorite memories have been taking a two week cross country road trip. They stopped everywhere from Arizona to Minnesota to Chicago. It was one of the greatest bonding experiences that made them best friends. There are really too many memories to keep track of. Trips to Vienna and London. Getting to spend so much time babysitting Tessa’s wonderful nieces and nephews. It’s all been so much fun!
Danny proposed over the Fourth of July weekend at Tessa’s family’s house. Tessa’s sister and brother-in-law were supposed to be out of town for a wedding and Danny’s family was “at the beach.” Everyone that was there went out to the backyard to take a picture and then when Tessa turned around she saw her sister standing on the back porch and instantly realized what was happening. Danny then told her how much he loved her and proposed!
It was definitely a surprise. Tessa always wanted to be surrounded by their families for the proposal and with her thinking her whole family wasn’t there and neither was mine, she had no idea it was coming. If you see the photos you can see how shocked she was. She loves the ring. It is exactly what she wanted after talking to The Clear Cut team!
They hope to get married at the end of next summer in Hawaii. Tessa’s family is from there so it will be incredibly meaningful to have a wedding rooted in their families’ histories. Congrats you two! We are SO happy for you!
]]>Jordan & Kayla met when they were paired together for a program at their College of Pharmacy in 2016. For their first date, they went ice skating at the home ice rink of Jordan's hockey team.
Kayla & Jordan have each completed pharmacy school and residency and are now looking forward to continuing to travel together. They share a love of the outdoors and travel often, including to Jordan's homeland of Australia.
Jordan proposed on a hike to Sky Pond in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado on June 18, 2023. After talking with Kayla's parents, Jordan knew he would propose on this trip and waited for just the "right moment" on their hike! After their private proposal moment, they asked a bystander to take a photo who then revealed he had proposed to his wife in that exact spot years before.
The moment was a complete surprise! Kayla's best friend also got engaged that weekend, and they were each in on the other's moment but shocked for their own. They each thought the ring (5ct emerald cut in a yellow gold bezel solitaire setting) was more beautiful in person than imaginable and Kayla was "flabbergasted".
Currently, in the stages of planning, Kayla & Jordan envision their wedding at an outdoor venue in late 2024 or early 2025, located in Central Florida with their friends and family. Congrats you two! We are SO happy for you!
]]>Brian and Anna knew each other in high school, but since there was a three year age gap, they weren’t friends at first. They reconnected later in their 30’s in NYC. Anna was still living in Miami, but after visiting each other a couple more times, she made the move to NYC permanent. When you know, you know!
On their first date, they bonded over a love for Girl Scout cookies and Ben & Jerry’s. Anna invited him to dinner, and halfway through, she had to tell him that they were on a date. Brian said, “I had no idea she thought of it this way until then, and it was a very pleasant surprise. We’ve been inseparable ever since.”
They have shared so many incredible memories since then. They love to travel together. Their favorite trip was spending two weeks in London. They have the Paris Olympics coming up, and can’t wait to go.
Brian proposed in their favorite place, the beach. They took a walk on the beach in Saint Augustine, Florida with their golden retriever, and he popped the question.
Anna grabbed the ring out of the box and put it on her finger before she even had the chance to say yes. She was more than pleased with the Toi et Moi bezel set that he picked out!
Wedding plans are still up in the air. Anna’s dad is a judge, so a courthouse wedding with him as the officiant will be special. They will have a party where the main requirement is a large disco ball and an ABBA playlist. Congrats you two! We are SO happy for you!
]]>Riley and Regan met during college at the United States Naval Academy. They were both stationed shortly after in Japan.
Their first official date was at a quaint ramen shop in Sasebo, Japan! They lived overseas together for a year, and enjoyed adventuring across the pond.
Riley proposed on August 1, 2023 in Lake Tahoe CA. Regan was so happy to have Riley propose in her favorite place in the world! Not only was she surprised, she was ecstatic!!!
Riley and Regan plan to get married sometime in 2024 in Riley’s hometown of Wilmington, NC. Congrats you two! We are SO happy for you!

Stephanie (Steph) and Andrew met on Hinge! For their first date, it was pouring rain & they were at Katana Kitten in the West Village. They laughed all night, he held an umbrella for her until a cab came & the rest is history😊 They have been together for 2.5 years since!
Their first big trip together was a weekend in Milan for Valentine’s Day 2020. They ate their weight in pizza and gelato, drank every ounce of Aperol in the country and laughed their way through the streets. They hope to go back soon!
For the proposal, Andrew planned Steph’s dream trip to the Amalfi Coast and took her to Villa Rufolo in Ravello one morning where he proposed on June 29, 2022 overlooking the Mediterranean ❤️
Steph was so surprised! And as for her ring, she says, “I am OBSESSED 😍”
For their wedding, they want a beach somewhere in 2024 surrounded by their closest friends and family! Congrats you two! We are SO happy for you!
]]>Caitlin and Corey dated in 6th grade. They ended up breaking up and remained friends all throughout high school.
For their first date, back in 2016, they went to a Chinese buffet to catch up after graduating high school in 2014 and that’s when they decided to keep going on dates because they enjoyed spending time together.
They have shared so many incredible memories together! They love traveling to Nashville, NYC, and ski destinations together. They also have four sweet dogs! They decided to elope in 2021 after the craziness of 2020. They felt that life is too short and they always talked about getting married.
Then, Corey officially proposed on March 16th, 2023 in Nashville on the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian bridge. After the proposal, they went on a helicopter tour of Nashville, then afterwards got tacos from Blanco Cocina Cantina. Then they ended the night bar hopping in downtown Nashville to celebrate.
Caitlin was totally surprised! Corey felt like having her in the design process of the ring was beneficial because “she is an extraordinary woman with extraordinary taste so finally seeing her dream ring in person blew her away.” AWW!
Since they have already gone through an elopement, they plan on doing something for themselves and are planning a trip to Italy to renew their vows. They have never been traditional so why start now. Congrats you two! We are SO happy for you!

They have shared countless incredible memories since then! Some highlights were a summer in Italy and France.
Amol proposed in the garden of the Four Seasons Hampshire on May 16th, 2023 with musicians performing “our song” as they entered!
