HAPPILY EVER AFTER: Brady & Sarah

From messaging one another for months, the couple’s romance quickly blossomed and they worked on building a solid foundation over the next couple of years. After purchasing a house together and having a baby girl, Brady popped the question to Sarah last year with a stunning princess-shape diamond solitaire ring made by 77 Diamonds.  In the midst of planning their winter wedding early next year, read on to learn more about Brady and Sarah’s love story.

Sarah and Brady share a special moment together after the proposal

Sarah and Brady share a special moment together after the proposal

First meeting: After about 10 months of messaging one another, their paths eventually crossed, but not by chance, Brady had it all planned out. Individually, Sarah and Brady were both meant to be out for friends’ birthday celebrations, but last minute, Sarah’s plans changed. “I had to convince the entire birthday party I was with to change location so I could ‘bump’ into her. After buying Sarah and her friends some cocktails, I finally plucked up the courage to ask her for a dance. After two-and-a-half years, buying our own family home and a delightful one-year old little girl joining my beautiful nine-year-old daughter, we’re now engaged to be married,” Brady exclaims.

She’s the one: Only six weeks after asking Sarah for their first dance, the couple were away in Chester celebrating Sarah’s recent graduation. “Sitting in a small pub over a few drinks and nibbles, I couldn’t help but gaze into her eyes and think I’d found the one; I couldn’t believe it had taken me 10 months to finally meet up,” shares Brady.

The proposal: “To celebrate our daughter’s first birthday and Christening in December, we had booked a lovely venue to enjoy the day with our closest friends and family. I had thought about this for some time and thought this was the perfect opportunity to pop the question.  Friends and family mean everything to us and to have them enjoy this moment with us made it even more special,” Brady explains.

The ring: Brady deliberated over the ring for about six months while in correspondence with the team at 77 Diamonds. “Eventually, I chose a beautiful princess cut solitaire in platinum, to match my very own princess, Sarah,” Brady smiles.

The wedding: The wedding date has been set for 9 February next year, which is also Sarah’s parent’s wedding anniversary. The ceremony, wedding breakfast and evening reception will take place at Stanley House Hotel Spa, Mellor, Lancashire.

“I used to be in the military so everything about the wedding is meticulously planned. I’m now a manager at a large college, and Sarah is a primary school teacher, so planning is part of everything we do,” says Brady.

Happily Ever After: Abdul & Stephanie

Abdul Walid and Stephanie Acquaye first met in Ghana. Now based in Rome, both are social workers for the United Nations. After being together for about seven years, Abdul surprised Stephanie with a Parisian proposal and a stunning 77 Diamonds engagement ring. Here is their happily ever after.

Stephanie was over the moon when Abdul surprised her with a marriage proposal during her birthday trip to Paris

First meeting: “We met back in Ghana, our homeland, at a traffic signal near the main Airport in Accra. Steph was crossing the main road without noticing that the traffic lights had turned red and my reaction was to instantly pull her back. Fortunately, we both happened to be enrolled in the same French school. We ran into each other a couple more times and the rest is history,” Abdul shares.

She’s the one: From usually spending most of his time with his friends, Abdul found himself and Stephanie  joint at the hip. “She is my Achilles heel. Steph is always the first person I want to share everything with,” he beams.

The proposal: Abdul proposed in Paris last summer during sunrise at Place du Trocadéro with the Eiffel Tower as the backdrop. A four-day trip to Monaco and Paris was planned in celebration of Stephanie’s birthday and Abdul had a surprise up his sleeve.

It was a sunrise proposal at Place du Trocadéro overlooking the Eiffel Tower

He lured Stephanie to the spot telling her he had organised a special photoshoot for her in honour of her birthday. Once they arrived at the spot, there was a photography crew hiding away ready to capture the special moment. “I played the song ‘Matrimony’ by Wale featuring Usher and told her to listen to the words closely. Halfway through the song, when she began to smile, I got down on one knee and asked her to marry me. She was in tears and accepted my proposal,” says Abdul.

The ring: Abdul chose the Aphrodite ring by 77 Diamonds, which features a delicate diamond halo and band in 18k rose gold with a cushion diamond  centre stone. Steph was over the moon, he says. “Her reaction to the engagement ring was priceless.”

The wedding: The couple had their traditional wedding ceremony in January followed by a court signing ceremony in Ghana. They are currently finalising arrangements for their Italian wedding which will take place this autumn.

Congratulations Abdul and Stephanie, we wish you a lifetime of happiness!
