My day in Paris was better than any dream weekend I could have ever imagined. It was a lifetime of birthdays, Christmas’ & holidays all rolled into one. We were here to shop, be festive & merry, take a million photos & sightsee— but I came away with just a handful of pictures & a few souvenirs. Why? Because sitting on the steps of the Palais de Chaillot, time stopped, when the love of my life asked me to marry him… & I said yes!

My gorgeous engagement ring made especially for me! Rubies from Ashleys grandmothers ring & three diamonds, set in white gold

It was perfect, romantic, original & completely an ‘us’ way to do it! This is the icing on the cake to the end of a great year & just the very beginning of an amazing life together.
