I recently got engaged…
It was quite a surprise! I don’t think the reality of it has sunk in to this day…
Unfortunately for me, I was never the little girl who had her wedding all planned out…. Planning a wedding is becoming more and more of a priority but I honestly don’t even know where to begin! I’ve been to countless weddings and even catered a couple, but when it comes to my own, I (as every bride) want to have a totally custom themed wedding… I mean I only plan on doing this once, so it’s gotta be totally amazing…. (Stress is starting to rise as I write… AH!)
But this is not what I wanted to get to on this day of love!
My man is so amazing! Not only did he manage to surprise the heck out of me, he surprised me with a gorgeous conflict-free diamond!
What is a conflict-free diamond you ask? Well, they are gems that do not support violence, torture, child labor, and rape that is often associated with the harvesting and distribution of diamonds. The quality is just as good as a conventional diamond and the workers behind the ethical diamonds are paid fair wages and are protected by their given rights.
A great website to learn more about conflict-free diamonds is Brilliant Earth. They go beyond the standards of “conflict-free” and ensure their diamonds do not harm anyone or thing in any way!
Happy Love Day!! ♥♥♥
