We’d like to send a warm congratulations to our newly married Fullerton customers, Sandy and Allan Anderson!! Allan is currently serving in the military in North Carolina and Sandy eagerly gave up her comfortable life in California to be with him. (Good love will make you do that sometimes!) Sandy is proudly rocking her Coast Diamond engagement ring! #RockYourRing

Anyone familiar with Robbins Brothers knows that we have a special fondness for military members. They sacrifice their freedom and family to protect ours. One thing I love about my job here is that we often help soldiers overseas pick out the engagement ring and even plan the marriage proposal, as their resources are limited. It’s always so exciting and enriching to be part of the experience.

As a small way to express our gratitude, we invite all of those in the military (active or veterans) to join us for a wonderful and sparkly Appreciation Party on October 17, 2013 from 4-7pm at our San Diego store. Hope you can make it!

Do you have a special story about your military love? Do share! fanclub[at]robbinsbros[dot]com

The post San Diego Military: “Serenade Your Sweetie” Video Contest appeared first on Robbins Brothers Blog.

The lovely Leianna Seals from New Orleans thought she won a VIP trip to pick a free ball gown at MCAS Miramar’s 8th Annual Ball Gown Giveaway, but my goodness was she in store for much more?! Leianna’s doting Marine, Lance Corporal William Bell, shocked her with a down-on-both-knees marriage proposal and a stunning Robbins Brothers diamond wedding ring set to go along with it.

It turns out that William, not Leianna, was the winner of a contest. Robbins Brothers and MCCS Miramar asked Marines to share their love story for a chance to win a gift certificate towards the ring purchase and a unique marriage proposal. Lance Corporal William Bell’s story touched the hearts of judges and then the planning began (first step: William visited Lindsey Nourse at Robbins Brothers San Diego to pick a ring). Even Leianna’s excited and proud mother, Vera Seals, was in on the surprise and flew to San Diego with her daughter to witness this life-changing moment.

Lance Corporal Bell’s Winning Story:
“I feel that my love and best friend, Leianna Seals, is extremely deserving of an amazing proposal. We met our senior year and what makes our story unique is that we met as a result of the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in August 2005. The unfortunate events of the storm brought us together. It was difficult transitioning to a new school our senior year, but she served as my calm in the storm. We feel and believe that even though unfortunate events took place during that tragic time that there were blessing in the aftermath. If it had not been for the hurricane our paths may have never crossed. We learned that life is unpredictable, can present incredible challenges and that with love anything is possible.

Leianna supported me unconditionally when I made the decision to become a Marine. She has been an unwavering source of encouragement. I, LCpl William Bell, Jr. thank God every day for having placed this remarkable young lady into my life. After the hurricane, we knew that we needed to embrace life and live it to the fullest. Leianna is still in Louisiana and we remain true and faithful to one other because we know how lucky we are to have been brought together. I would love to surprise her and give her a beautiful ring as with everything we have been through she has remained so strong. I will never forget the tragedies of Hurricane Katrina, but I thank God for blessing us with a prosperous relationship that has brought amazing light to my life. I hope that our story touches your hearts, the way that she has touched mine.”

WATCH THE SURPRISE PROPOSAL!

Robbins Brothers has great admiration and respect for those brave persons serving in the military. After all, they sacrifice so much to protect our freedom. Any chance we get to help a soldier plan a special surprise for his loved one, whether it’s a marriage proposal or anniversary gift, it’s always our pleasure to partake in the excitement. So naturally, we get quite emotional when military families reunite. This video particularly warms my heart. So sweet!

Our proposal of the week is a sweet one and came as quite a surprise for a young woman whose initial response to her Marine boyfriend was “What the heck.” Once she realized that this proposal was no dream, the tears began to flow. Best wishes to the newly engaged couple!

This morning Robbins Brothers, The Engagement Ring Store, had the honor of hosting over 20 very special ladies who stand beside their brave soldiers who serve our country in the Army, Marines, Air Force and Navy.  Our store in Riverside, California, pampered this amazing group of women with breakfast, mimosas, manicures and massages, and everyone enthusiastically participated in a bouquet toss that included the grand prize of a $500 shopping spree in the store! A stunning sterling silver jewelry gift was also presented to each guest who attended.  

Rick Lozano from KTTV Fox Morning News in Los Angeles covered the story and had the ladies share their love stories and show their photos of their sweethearts.  Many of the guests told Rick that their significant others are currently serving in Afghanistan and Iraq and will not be home for the holidays.

To all of our VIP guests (Alyssa, Andrea, Anita, Arlyn, Anny, Brittany, Brittney, Carrie, Cassie, Cindy, Kim, Courtney, Desiree, Dorothy, Elizabeth, Kat, Kassandra, Lezlie, Mindy, Nancy, Natasha, Nicole, Raynell, Rita) we salute you!
