Nine years ago, Bill met his true love, Wendy, on Match.com. Says Bill, “We both knew from the very beginning that this was it.”

The couple soon moved in together and live in Berwyn, PA. Both are employed by a large software company. Bill’s a software sales person and Wendy’s a sales trainer.

Finding His Match
On November 30th, Bill, Wendy, and Wendy’s daughter, Amanda (a senior at Lehigh University), visited scenic Longwood Gardens. Amanda knew Bill was going to propose to her mother and was thrilled to help orchestrate the event. The stage was set: Beautiful decorations, a crisp winter night, sparkling lights. And, of course, a stunning ring.

The Proposal
A self-described “car nut,” Bill grew up surrounded by vehicles. His uncle owned a very successful car dealership in Bethlehem, PA. Bill still subscribes to several auto magazines and parks his “little red baby,” a vintage Corvette convertible, in the garage, next to his and Wendy’s other vehicles. The ladies knew Bill had his eye on a 1969 Dodge Charger that he hoped to one day add to his current collection.

A quiet bench away from the crowd became the spot for Bill to tell Wendy, “You’re probably wondering why I asked you to stop here.” Tongue in cheek, Bill pulled a tiny Matchbox model of a ’69 Dodge Charger out of his pocket and gave it to Wendy.

“But will we have room in the garage?” Wendy asked.

Bill snatched the toy car out of her hand and replaced it with a gorgeous David Craig Jeweler’s engagement ring. There would be plenty of space for this precious item.

The Ring
Wendy’s engagement ring is composed of eight diamonds on a white gold band surrounding a square-shaped halo consisting of 18 diamonds. The ring totals just under 3 carats.

Says Bill, “Wendy always said she wanted what she terms a ‘five-table diamond ring—one that folks would see sparkling five tables away. I think she got it.”

Wendy concurs. During a break at a recent training seminar that she organized, a woman pulled Wendy aside. “I can see your ring from my seat (five tables away) and it’s beautiful!”

Why David Craig Jewelers
Nothing beats a personal recommendation. In this case, it came from Bill’s sister, Nancy, whose engagement ring came from David Craig Jewelers.

“Nancy told me I just had to go to David, that his quality was unbelievable and that he’d take good care of me,” says Bill. “And she was right.”

“There are jewelry stores all over closer to me, but I drove 41 miles to go to David Craig Jewelers. And we’re happy I did.”
