Tell us how you met.
We met in college! I was in a sorority, and Eli was in a fraternity, and our story started on March 16, 2023. That night, Phi Mu and Kappa Alpha had a social together at a local bar. After the social, my friends and I went back to the fraternity house to hang out, and that’s where Eli and I really started to get to know each other. What began as a fun night with my friends turned into something so much more! Looking back, it’s crazy to think that one simple night would lead us here.

Tell the story of your proposal.
Eli planned a family photo shoot with his side of the family. A few years before, I had taken pictures at this beautiful property with my family, but Eli discovered a small chapel there that I had no idea existed – and that’s where he asked me to marry him. After the proposal, we drove to my parents’ house to “show them the ring,” but Eli had planned a surprise engagement party with our closest family and friends. Getting to celebrate this day surrounded by the people we love made it even more special and a memory I will cherish forever.

Tell us about the ring!
I first saw the Radiant Trilogy on the website, but it wasn’t until I went in for a gemstone round table and got to try the ring on that I instantly knew it was the one. Later, I brought Eli back with me so he could see it in person, and while we were there, Ronni shared that her dad, Jeff, had designed the ring before he passed away. This detail made the ring even more meaningful and is what I love most about it.

Tell us about the wedding!
Our ceremony will take place at St. Pius X Catholic Church, and our reception will be at Le Pavillon. We can’t wait for our wedding day and to celebrate with our closest family and friends!
