Dear Friends, Some of you already know it happened, some of you don
January 04, 2005

Dear Friends, Some of you already know it happened, some of you don't.

Dear Friends, Some of you already know it happened, some of you don't. Some of you knew it was going to happen, some of you didn't. I wanted to write an email officially announcing to everyone that I got engaged on Friday, December 31st (New Year's Eve) in downtown Chicago to my new fiance' (wow it seems weird to use the word fiance'). Her name is Katie Dixon and she's from Nashville. She will be 25 in February, and we met at work. We both work at Sony, and some of her friends decided to play matchmakers... it only took working together for over a year before we actually went out on a date! Some of you may want to know more specific details about the actual proposal or other things, but others of you may not, so I will leave it fairly simple, and if you would like more detail, please feel free to call me and I'll fill you in on EVERYTHING that happened that night, or any other details you might wish to know! After eating dinner at an amazing restaurant in downtown Chicago, I surprised her with a carriage ride through the city and a bottle of champagne. Twenty minutes into the ride we stopped at a park in the city, got out, walked to a lit gazebo in the middle of the park, and that's where I asked her. After giggling uncontrollably for about 2 minutes, she said yes! So there you have it... I'm getting married! It was impossible for us to call everyone we knew that night or even the next day to let them all know, so that's why I wanted to send out an email to inform all of you! Please feel free to tell all of your family members, friends, enemies, siblings, etc. about our happy news. We are both extremely happy and excited and I just wanted to let you all know. I've attached a couple of pictures for those of you that don't actually know Katie. Finally, I want to personally thank Denise Newberg for all her hard work over the past month. She is the one that sold me the ring and I just want her to know that her hard work did not go unnoticed or unappreciated. I think it only took looking at probably 75 different diamonds before deciding on the one we ended up with, so I thank her for her patience and willingness to help me deal with probably the most stressful decision of my life up to this point! Thank you, Denise! Also, if anyone is in the market, or going to be in the market for diamonds... I highly recommend her to any of you. I can easily put you in touch with her... she was a huge help! That's all I know right now... we've started talking about dates and locations to have the wedding, but no official date has been set yet. I'll let you all know!

My daughter LOVED the bracelet. It is beautiful.

My daughter LOVED the bracelet. It is beautiful.

When shopping for a natural diamond bracelet for our daughter's wedding, we wanted exceptional quality without paying extra for a big-name brand like Tiffany or Winston. Whiteflash exceeded expectations -- the care they took in helping us select the right stones was outstanding, and it was clear how much they've invested in customer service, from the first conversation through to delivery. The bracelet was stunning on the day. Highly recommend if you want real diamond expertise paired with a genuinely attentive buying experience

Becca and the Whiteflash team were amazing to work with!

Throughout the entire engagement ring purchasing process, Becca was very responsive and informative, helping explain all the little details and decisions to consider. She made the process smooth and enjoyable, and everyone was incredibly friendly along the way.

I'm enjoying dinner three times a week and Becca is the best!

Whiteflash specifically Becca at Whiteflash made this such an easy process... The most beautiful .9 carat simply gorgeous stunning amazing brilliant diamond.... In an elegant styled tulip pronged white gold setting.... She is now cooking dinner for me three times a week!..... No no not Becca... Heather absolutely loves the diamond and can't wait to wear it around all the bougie family members. I was confused on the order and entered it twice Becca called me on the next business day and said let's go through this and make sure you're getting exactly what you want.... She found a setting for me that was much better for that particular Stone than the one I had selected... She suggested this upgraded setting at a even more affordable price..... I'm enjoying dinner three times a week and Becca is the best I hope to have many more diamond purchase experiences with Becca at White flash!!! Bill.... Previously from Tallahassee now living in Lake County Florida near but not in The villages.

We couldn't be happier with our experience with Whiteflash Jewelry!

We couldn't be happier with our experience with Whiteflash Jewelry!

We were celebrating our 30th anniversary, and the entire process of selecting the perfect 1.5-carat natural diamond and solitaire setting was easy and enjoyable. Liza was incredibly helpful throughout the process, and she and the design team went above and beyond to create a custom plain wedding band that fit beautifully with the solitaire. Their guidance, attention to detail, and willingness to make sure everything was exactly what we wanted made the experience truly special. Most importantly, we absolutely love the finished product. The diamond is stunning, the setting is beautiful, and the custom band complements it perfectly. We couldn't have asked for a better ring to celebrate our 30th anniversary. We would highly recommend Whiteflash to anyone looking for exceptional quality, personal service, and a beautiful finished piece.
