Back in 2002 i was working at the Fred Meyers on 3500 S 4000 W i saw one of the Fred Meyer Jewelers Catalogs with this GORGEOUS ring and fell in love with it that moment. I took the Book home and Showed Jean and told her "OK if i ever meet the man I'm gonna marry show him this and tell him this is the ring i want" Jean just said "not if i get it 1st" i laughed and put it in a box under my bed.. now I'm not that kind of girl who planned out my wedding to some unknown man down to all the details when i was 10 but i just knew i wanted that ring. well fast forward about 3 yrs ago i moved from my 1 bedroom apt into a 2 bedroom and pretty much took all the stuff that was in my lil storage and trashed it thought to myself "if i didn't need it in the last two yrs i dont need it now" so i pretty much threw away a lot of stuff that i would later realize i shouldn't of done that, but i do remember coming across that catalog from 2002 and saying to myself "its not gonna happen why bother keeping it" and tossed it out too. So in Feb of 2008 after i told him i loved him we started talking about getting married and "just Looking" at rings i found a few that i liked but none of them really jumped out at me and in the back of my mind i was looking for one similar to the one i really wanted so for two months i looked at rings with Charlene and Christine at the Fred Meyer jewelers at my home store in West Jordan on a daily basis id find one and send a pic to Bart and he would just text back OK... so one day in April i was in there looking on lunch and asked Charlene if they still had that one where the band came out from underneath the engagement part? she told me they didn't have it but thinks it may have been discontinued. but said she might still have the catalog that it was in and if she could get the item # she could see if a store has it... but with my luck they don't have that catalog.... so i come home and start tearing the house apart "knowing i have it" but then after searching i tell Bart i think i had tossed it out he asked me "Why" (he knows it bothers me when he asks me this and i usually have some smart ass comment to give him) but this time i just said "i didn't think it would ever happen so i tossed it." so after that i logged on to fredmeyerjewelers.com and clicked on Clearance and low and behold it was the 3rd ring in there i wrote down the item # and the next day at work i took it over to them they looked it up and said "Logan has 2 and Sandy has 1 we'll transfer it and have it on Friday" I was So ecstatic it was wed and i texted Bart and told him "I found my Dream Ring". so on Thursday April 3rd a day later Mari came over and told me "your ring is here" i screamed and ran over to look at it. it was so beautiful and it fit well it was a tad snug when it was all together but perfect with just the engagement part. i seriously thought "omg this is meant to be" got a lil choked up and told Bart to Come look at it that night which he did. we left it on hold for about a week and half then Mari came over and was like "look stores keep calling for that ring you need to get it on layaway" so i did i went over and put money on it so NO ONE could get it. It was Really Mine!!!! we made payments on it and re-did the layaway when i would get xtra off coupons for clearance and every time i would stop it all the girls would let me know "we still get calls on it asking if its not picked up to transfer it to them and they would tell them nope that's Danielle's" so anyway in Sept we got it down to $260.00 it was so close i couldn't wait. On Our One year of being together i texted Bart and told him "i don't care what you have to do but i want my ring" (i know selfish but damn it i wanted my ring on our 1 yr) i was working at the orem store and left Early and driving home i remember thinking i wonder if he did get it and if i would cry if he asked me or if he would ask me at dinner (we planned on going to Rodizzo) so my mind was racing... i come inside not sure what to expect and the 1st thing i notice is GERBER DAISY'S My favorite flower that HE has only gotten me 1 other time. (i always told him thank you for my roses but i wanted Gerber Daisy's more, and he would always tell me id get them on a special occasion) so i see the Gerber Daisy's red ones and pink ones and then a cool red and white one like a fire and ice one and as i get closer to look at it my engagement ring is sitting on top of the flower i just started to cry and grabbed the ring cried and waiting for what seemed like 5 min for him to get on one knee and ask me.... well it may have seemed like 5 min to me but it wasn't i said YES before he could even ask me!!! we never made it to Rodizzo that night it took me forever to get myself together i was so happy to finally get the ring of my dreams and to be with the man of my dreams all in one night. here is my ring and the flowers
This is the pic i copied off of Fredmeyerjewelers.com and posted it as Bart's Desk Top on his Computer. :)
This is where my engagement Part was Nestled in
Where the wedding band was nestled
The full set on my finger with the on my cheek
The Engagement part patiently waiting for the band...
