When Reif and Alyssa came to Walton's to look at engagement rings, they were struck right away by how approachable the experience felt. "We were so impressed with how friendly, knowledgeable, and approachable they made the process," Alyssa recalls. Working with our own Korene, Reif quietly took note of everything Alyssa loved, and then surprised her with a custom engagement ring she describes as the most gorgeous she has ever seen. It features a beautiful oval cut diamond in a three-stone yellow gold setting, warm and romantic and entirely her.

That was just the beginning of their relationship with Walton's. Since the engagement, Korene has helped Reif and Alyssa design custom wedding bands and a stacking band made to nestle perfectly alongside the engagement ring. The pieces tell a story together, each one marking a moment in their life as a couple.

This past spring, Reif and Alyssa were married at Common House in Chattanooga, and the photos they shared with us are just beautiful.

"Walton's is forever part of our story. It's so special to have a locally owned jewelry store we can support and who knows us by name when we walk inside. We can't wait to return to Walton's for more special pieces in the future."

We feel exactly the same way. Congratulations, Reif and Alyssa!
