Love Stories

Today I'm debuting a new feature on this blog - customer-submitted stories about their relationships and/or weddings, complete with photos and ring details. Enjoy! And thanks to Maranda and Per for being my trailblazing first couple!

Maranda and Per

"We met 16 years ago in Memphis, TN on my 15th birthday. Per came over with a friend of his, which was my cousin, just for a summer visit. We fell in love and married two years later. We were very young and as many young marriages do, ours ended after three years, reluctantly. Last year, we were both in a place in our lives that enabled us to see each other again for the first time in ten years. Turns out all those years apart, we were both miserable for one another, we both thought of one another every single day. In May of 2009 we met under the clock in Victoria Station in London. The heavy feeling we both had for years, since our parting, was immediately gone. In that instant, we knew we could never live without one another again. We will marry in the US this year and have a formal wedding in Norway next August...on August the 8th! We are true, honest to goodness, soul mates."
