Hello Everyone, At 8 PM this past Saturday night, Bill decided to relinquish his 50 years of bachelorhood.

Hello Everyone, At 8 PM this past Saturday night, Bill decided to relinquish his 50 years of bachelorhood. I asked Margaret to be my wife. She responded with a resounding ""yes"". Attached is a picture taken that night at a beautiful Bed & Breakfast in Tilghman's Island, Md, where we were celebrating our ""9 month anniversary"" and my birthday. We were out on a point on the island (at sunset) and the wind was blowing at almost 20 mph so our hair was going every which way---but neither of us cared! The wind actually blew over a full glass of champagne! On the table in front of us is a collage I made for my fianc?©e. It was entitled ""9 months with Margie"". It had memoirs of some of the things we have been doing for the past 9 months-- our Hilton head trip, our Florida trip, fun expressions we use with each other, adjectives used to describe Margie, a key to my heart, a picture of a diamond ring, hearts with our initials, a picture of the trail bike she bought me (to ride with her), board/card games we like to play together, plus much, much more... We'd love for you to see the collage sometime. We wanted to spead the exciting news to everyone.......

Whiteflash provided exceptional service and a stunning quality ring

Purchasing from Whiteflash was an exceptional experience. Liza provided knowledge, expertise, care and attention to detail that was above and beyond my expectations. She met a very constrained timeline and was an absolute joy to work with. The quality of the diamond is stunning. I highly recommend Whiteflash and Liza.

Got my engagement ring from Whiteflash. I was a little nervous because I live in New York and I cannot go in person. But I received the ring yesterday and it exceeded my expectations! The quality of the stone is even better than I thought. Very white and clean and just very clear when look at it closely! Perfect stone with good sparkles. The setting is also very well made. The ring is comparable to any designer brands I have seen! Becca helped me pick out the stone and the setting through our email communication. Mariah is also very helpful with the ordering process. The production time is very short too at Whiteflash. 10 days after payment I received my ring! Much faster than other jewelers I have been to. Great experience and will recommend to all my friends!

She loves the ring and it has been a visual highlight to everyone who sees it. Thank you for the awesome customer service and buying experience. The unboxing was a work of art and she loved it from the moment she saw it in the proposal box. I’m sure we will shop Whiteflash for the wedding bands.

Thanks to Becca and her team for making a memory!!

My wife and I are near our 50th wedding anniversary. I wanted to wow her with an unforgettable anniversary gift, something that showed her how much these almost 50 years have meant to me. And what better way that to present her with the diamond we could not even think about buying where we were married. We were like many young couples all those years ago - in love plus broke and poor!! I did my research and came up with some specs, which were amended many, many times! I looked at the various reputable online dealers as well as brick and mortar retail stores too. A few (very few actually) were receptive to taking on my challenge to find that special stone per my specs. While not the first to present a "find," Becca of Whiteflash in Sugar Land TX was the first to find a stone that was so very close to having it all. Now, I did not know it was going to be the one, but after asking all the crazy questions of Becca and putting her and the diamond through the gauntlet, it became "the one." Becca's 17 years of experience became invaluable in helping me make the right decision, a decision that was not taken lightly because the diamond was for a very special purpose and it did cost a dollar or two as well!! While we did not live exactly down the road from Sugar Land, my wife and I took off on a road trip to meet Becca in person as well as actually see the diamond. It was stunning for sure. We made the purchase and are on our way to making this the 50th wedding anniversary gift I only dreamed of. Thanks to Becca and her team for making a memory!!
