A little #ThankfulThursday for family owned businesses that help make scary, big decisions a lot less scary.

As someone that knows very little about jewelry and stones and carats, the idea of finding a ring for my liewe Marié was n bit daunting. I had an image in my head. But nothing I saw in the bigger commercial stores came close to what I wanted. It felt impersonal and as if I was shopping for a birthday gift rather than asking the woman of my dreams to marry me.

Enter my darling friend @roelinedaneel Her family owns @daneeldiamonds and she said I should have a chat with her brother about what I want and take it from there.

Julle... what a wonderful experience. I told @thechandie what I had in mind. Their designer sent me a 3D design a day later and lo and behold it looked exactly like the image in my head! 

So when it came to our wedding rings I didn't even think twice about what to do or where to go. Again, the design for our rings are uniquely us and again @thechandie and @pieterdaneel treated us like family, printing 3D versions and sending it via courier so we can even test the fit!

I know the term "family" can be thrown around a lot but they really made us feel like that. And maybe it is because Roeline is my friend and she told her brothers to be super nice to me (possibly I don't know) but it felt so personal and special. I didn't feel like I was making a big decision in a mall, it felt like throwing ideas around with buddies over a cup of tea.

Dankie aan die Daneels. #DankbareDonderdag vir julle drie (en Wilco en Joanie en die res van die gang).

Koue bloue hemel met geen genade. Ek ken die ooskus, but it's not the same. 

Ons herdenk die man wat die see liewer gehad het as enige van ons. Amper 'n jaar 🐟
