Beth and Richard’s Idyllic Lake Como Proposal Story

June 6, 2018

Another month has passed and we have received some great entries to our proposal story competition. After much consideration, we chose Beth and Richard’s engagement at Lake Como as our winners. Read their story below and we’re sure you’ll understand why we chose them.

How they met

Meeting in their first year of university, Beth and Richard became friends long before they started going out. After finally realising that they had both loved each other for most of their friendship, they became a couple and have been together for 6 years since!

How he asked

Using the ruse of a belated birthday celebration, Richard planned to take Beth out on a boat during their trip to the spectacular Lake Como in Italy. Having little luck with the weather, they finally made it out on the day before they were due to fly home. Assumingly a difficult wait for Richard!

Thinking on his feet, Richard said he had a late birthday present for Beth, but had left the price on, ensuring that she closed her eyes. When she opened them, she was shocked (and a little impressed, given the bobbing boat) to see Richard down on one knee asking her to marry him.

She said yes of course and has shared with us this picturesque photo of them smiling against the backdrop of the beautiful wooded hills surrounding the lake.

The ring

Beth’s has a stunning three stone platinum mounted diamond engagement ring.

The Winners

Beth and Richard’s story of friends that fall in love followed by a perfect engagement trip was a great winning story and we are looking forward to helping them to find their wedding rings with a £100 voucher towards them.

My lovely eternity ring,given to me by my mother holds great sentimental value for me.
The spinnels were old and damaged so I decided to have the ring altered with diamonds replacing the spinnels.
Piers,a jeweller at Charles Nobel Jewellers,New Milton,inserted the diamonds with great care and expertise.
He has transformed my ring and I can thoroughly recommend him and his father,Charles.
Their service,knowledge and craftsmanship are excellent.

I had a ring redesigned into a more modern pendant. Piers understood how I imagined the design to look - modern and unique. We spent a long time deciding on the best of the designs that were produced to fit my brief and I am extremely pleased with the finished product. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this service
