Matthew and Emilee

At Dianna Rae Jewelry, we enjoy sharing the love stories of our customers because your story is our story. Congratulations to Matthew & Emilee, and thank you for sharing your love story with us.

How They Met

We met through Emilee’s brother, Andrew.  Our first time meeting, Matthew asked Emilee to go dancing at Randol’s with a group of friends.  From then on, we dated for 8 1/2 years.  We spent our time together going to concerts, traveling, and finishing college together.  We have 3 adopted cats; Jack, Fig, and Delta.  4 years ago we lost our brother and friend, Andrew.  He always made sure to remind us of how special our relationship was.  We owe our love story to him.

The Proposal

On July 24th, Matthew surprised Emilee with a proposal at Moncus Park!  We went for a walk at sunset with some of our close family members.  We made our way to the top of the hill to take pictures and Matthew got down on one knee.  I knew there was a ring in the works, but I had no clue when or where the proposal would happen.  I was shocked and so excited to share the big moment with everyone around us.  We couldn’t stop laughing because I never noticed how nervous Matthew was acting before.  He was scared to lose the ring in his pocket.  We facetimed other family/friends to share the news and celebrated with dinner that night.  It was perfect and simple like we always imagined.

The Ring

My ring is so unique and perfectly matches my personality!  It has a vintage feel.  It is oval and rose gold, which are the two things I told Matthew I loved for a ring.  Matthew designed the ring and wanted to make sure I loved it on my hand so in store we were able to try on a 3D print of the ring after.  Dianna Rae Jewelry made our engagement such a special moment by making the ring designing/buying process effortless.
