Cecilia and Bridget met through music. Eight years ago, Bridget was on the road as a touring photographer and videographer, working with Cecilia’s favorite band, when the tour came through the venue where Cecilia was working at the time. Mutual friends made the introduction, and they have been together ever since. Over the years, they have called several states home, side by side.

From the beginning, they knew a traditional proposal was not their story. Instead, they made a simple promise to each other: when they both found rings they loved, that would be their engagement.

They had been looking for a while when they stopped into Walton’s one day, just to browse. Working with our own Rachel, they each set out to find a ring of their own. Then something rare happened. They fell in love with their rings at the exact same moment, and both were waiting in the same display, just a few inches apart. Both fit perfectly as they were. And when we looked closer, the two rings turned out to come from the same era, both Art Deco pieces.

“We each got to pick out our own ring, but being there together and making that decision together made it so special.”

They first planned to sit with the decision for a little while. But once they got home and looked at other options, they realized they already knew. Those were their rings.

To celebrate, they had engagement photos taken in New York, a fitting backdrop for two people whose story has always been on the move.

Congratulations, Cecilia and Bridget! We are so glad your search ended in our showroom, and we cannot wait to see where the road takes you next.
