Two years ago I proposed to Dana. I attended her Graduation ceremony at The Rialto in Joliet along with her parents, sister, best friend And her daughter. I had already asked for her Father's blessing and had organized with her sister and friend to set up the house with some decorations and a cake while we were heading to the ceremony. We all retired back at the house afterwards, where I called for everyone's attention as I got down on one knee.

The diamond was my mothers, a beautiful Emerald cut My Father bought from the original C.D. Peacock in Chicago. I had it set on a white gold band and encircled with twenty smaller diamonds.

A Bachelors degree with Honors and Engaged to me all in one day. Wow, not a bad day for her hua?!  Haha...

Here is a photo I took of the ring in a beautiful arrangement she received.
