Our Engagement Ring Story
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
We have been dating for six years and have known we would be getting married eventually. The time has come to buy an engagement ring but first, we had to figure out what I wanted. Come shopping with us as we take on Tiffany, Blue Nile and even Costco in the search for the perfect ring. And what's a perfect ring without the perfect Parisian proposal?

Thank you Howard for making Monique so happy!
Congratulations! I remember when you first started dating, and cannot believe it's been six years already. Here's to many, many more years of happiness!
Glad you went with the beautiful blue sapphire instead of the yellow diamond too! The blue compliments your skin tone and eyes! Gorgeous!

I had a big sapphire ❤. Inspired by Princess Diana.
Six years? How can it be? I remember when you shared how you met. Big congratulations to you both!
Congratulations! I can't believe it's been six years. Things have definitely changed for you since I started watching you.

I don't cry easily but when I saw you trying on your ring I got a bit emotional and then when Howard put the ring on your finger and proposed I got a little tear as well. Geez, I feel silly, lol. Congratulations to you both! This was a super sweet video. Your ring is beautiful!!! Thanks for allowing your followers to watch such a special moment! I am happy for you both! Judy

Monique, I’ve watched you for many years and remember when you were struggling through bad relationships and so many ups and downs. This is a happy occasion for me as well just watching you rise above it all over time and to see you reach his point - well lady, I’m doing my happy dance! Congratulations - this is so wonderful and you’re an inspiration to everyone to never give up. May you and Howard live a long, healthy and loving life!

I was part of the same group watching you as were really trying so hard to get started again in Hollywood. Sweetest moment then was a follower sent you a large selection of eyebrow, eyelash pencils anyway you were so humbled an surprised when u opened the Box. This was just as humbling an sweet. The best comes your way if you just wait. 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️.

My SO and I have been together for 25 years today. We may still may get married some day. I did get my 'official' ring about 5 years ago now. We were very lucky to have found each other a little later in life as well. Who knew it could be this fantastic? Congratulations to you both. 💕

Honestly, if you have been together that long, you probably should at least get a courthouse one. Because if either of you ends up in the hospital, the hospital is going to use next of kin for the POA. Even if it's an estranged child, they legally use those people first before they will use a boyfriend/girlfriend. So it's in your best interests to be married legally so that you don't have to worry about other family members making medical decisions.

@@CaliMel184 Appreciate your concern and you are correct. We both have wills and POA's filed with our lawyer so we're protected. You do have to think ahead so your wishes can be carried out as you wish.
Aww that was sweet. I love your ring. Thanks for sharing your story. I loved your little private French balcony when you received your ring. It must’ve been so romantic. When we got engaged I told my husband I didn’t want an engagement ring. I just wanted a gold band for a wedding ring. Then a few months later I changed my mind. I told him about a jeweller I loved. He saw the jewellery and felt the same. His rings are exquisite. So we chose one together. My husband paid off the ring. After he picked it up he took me to a lovely restaurant to give it to me. I still love it.
Only Tiffany 💍 ... What a stunning presentation ~ champagne 🥂 & a handwritten note presented on a silver tray ~ pure class and perfection! Congratulations you two 🎉 💞🥂

Wow, thank you!
Howard's proposal to you was so amazing! I've been a long time follower when you first starting to foster your two cats. Congratulations!!
I got teary eyed listening to your engagement story and especially watching the proposal on the balcony in Paris❤️ The Eiffel Tower all lit up in yellow 💛 was pretty spectacular knowing you were originally looking at a yellow stone. That was destiny having its way💫 The brilliant Blue Safire is the most beautiful stone 💙 We are all so happy for you both❤️
Brought tears to my eyes when Howard proposed. The ring is absolutely stunning. The Eiffel Tower shining in the background is perfect. I’m so happy for you both. Bless you. 🤗🤗🙏
Wow! You’re really living a dream. I don’t know of any couples that are so perfect together. I mean, what are the chances?!? You deserve all this. I’ve been watching you for years. Couldn’t happen to a nicer person!! ❤❤ all the best to you and Howard 👰🏼♀️🤵🏼
The ring is perfection. The blue suits your skin tone much better than yellow. And the size is perfect as well. I'm remembering long ago I had thought I wanted an amethyst ring for a birthday. As the sales person looked at one on my hand she said, wait a minute, let's try a garnet instead. And she was so right. The purple amethyst didn't look as good on my skin coloring as the garnet did. Many more years of happiness to you both.

Thanks you for sharing the Tiffany experience, what a pleasure. I cried while watching him propose…. Just perfect Monique… As we say in French; félicitations à vous deux, c’est merveilleux!! 🥂💍🥂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
How sweet. Congratulations! Sapphire is tougher than diamond, and its a beautiful color.
I was crying! Oh my gosh Monique, Always the best to you both! Since one does not say "congratulations" to the "bride," I'm sending my sincerest "Congratulations!!" to Howard!! God love you both! And all the very best! P. S. I started watching you 10 years ago when you were in your little apartment in LA. How far you've come it's so admirable! You're an inspiration to us all!

Well they should have been IN the tower. Paris would make u sad thinking of the refugees leaving to escape Hitler. The biggest exodus of refugees in history.
What a beautiful story and your ring is stunning. Congratulations to you both.
Beautiful choice! I think the blue is much more flattering with your skin tone than the yellow.
I can't believe it's been 6 years, congratulations I'm so incredibly happy for you both.
Has it been six years?!? Congratulations! I have been following you from almost the beginning. You have come a long way and you deserve all the happiness and love you’re getting now. 💎❤💎
Congratulations Monique and Howard! Thank you for sharing this part of your journey!
How could it be six years? I remember when you told us you were dating...so happy for you both and glad to see Howard! Congrats to you both!
I was feeling a bit down, I’ve seen this and I haven’t stopped smiling. Wish you all the best for your future.
Thank you Howard and Monique for sharing this beautiful story.
Congrats, the story is beautiful and unique.
Congratulations silver sister .... the ring is absolutely beautiful !!
Oh my. If you have been dating for six yrs, that means I have been watching you for at least 8. Its incredible how you found your match. You two are a great example that its never too late. I hope you have bunches.....of happy years ahead of you❤
I'm watching you picking out yellow diamonds and thinking "Why are you choosing yellow? You need to be looking at blue stones." Then I kept on watching. How perfect! Congratulations!
I have watched you for years and cannot express enough how very happy I am for you. You really deserve the best, and Howard seems to be the ideal partner. May God bless your union and may you be eternally happy.
I'm not crying - you're crying! So happy for the two of you!
I'm thrilled for you both!!! It was so exciting to hear you talk about your engagement and your beautiful ring during your stream last night Monique. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!! Edit: I'm watching the part where the wonderful jeweler at Tiffany's (Danielle) brought out your wedding set. I'm literally crying. I am so overjoyed for you both.
