Every Kind Of Love. Every Kind Of Ring.
Real couples share their experience in life, love and finding the perfect ring.
The First Kiss
Usually the very first kiss is important and highly anticipated in any relationship. Sometimes it meets our expectations, and other times it does not.
Meet Ashlie and Marc. Ashlie doesn’t remember when or where it happened. “I know, I’m terrible!,” she confesses. “But what I do remember is that Marc asked if he could kiss me. I was so nervous, my reply was, ‘Yes, please!’ ” Marc, on the other hand, recalls that it was the couple’s third or fourth date and they were in front of Ashlie’s house. As he walked her to the door, he asked if he could kiss her. “She gazed at me and nodded,” Marc shares. “I kissed her and to sum it up, it felt just right.”
Real couples, including Ashlie and Marc, discuss the first kiss and what it symbolizes. Sparks, anxiety and everything in between, Marc believed their first kiss meant “we’re more than friends.”
The Marriage Proposal
Once Ashlie and Marc experienced their first kiss, the two knew they shared something special and wanted to be together forever. Fast forward to the marriage proposal. Marc surprised her on live television as part of Robbins Brothers’ “Love Week” with KTLA Channel 5.
Ashlie reflects on proposal day, and even pauses a few times to giggle as she shares her story:
I was extremely surprised and confused, haha. Confused because I thought I was going to be working with a friend on a T.V. commercial for hair and makeup. And then the next thing I see–Marc was there with cameras and balloons. I couldn’t have been happier. The fact that so many of my friends and family were able to watch it all unfold was the icing on the cake.
Marc reveals: “At first I didn’t know how to pull it off. I just knew that I wanted it to be something our loved ones could talk about for years to come. Ashlie is amazing and I was excited about her potentially being my wife. I wanted it to be public so everyone would know. I wasn’t nervous at all.”
The Ring
Ashlie always wanted an engagement ring with a classic vintage flair. She loves the 1920s style and while dating, she and Marc would visit several clothing and accessory antique shops to browse the selection. When it was time, Marc did not disappoint. He popped the question with a gorgeous three-stone vintage styled ring. As a result Ashlie gushed, “It’s perfect and fits our dedication towards each other–today, tomorrow and forever.“
