# Real Engagement Stories: Sammi & Justin

**Real Engagement Stories in Minneapolis.** One of the joys of the jewelry profession is that we get to see the joining of two people from start to finish in "Real Engagement Stories". Usually it starts with a young suitor looking to woo his soon-to-be-bride into a marriage proposal. This was exactly the case when Justin walked into our small 297 square foot store in the Minneapolis Skyway.

#### Sammi & Justin: Their Real Engagement Story

In 30+ years of being in business, we have helped many young couples transition from single-hood to the unity that the marriage of two people can bring - through [diamond engagement rings](https://gittelsonjewelers.com/engagement-wedding-rings-mn/womens-collection/). Just like all of the love stories that we encounter here at Gittelson Jewelers, this one is worth a share. Justin and Sammi's engagement photo shoot brings to mind all that is good about a Minneapolis proposal, engagement and wedding

#### Engagement Shoots in Minneapolis

One thing that really* struck me* about Justin and Sammi, is the way they seem to communicate without even saying a word. I didn't meet Sammi until after the proposal, but she was just as sweet as Justin described her when we were discussing engagement ring style options for her. Justin had pre-shopped our selection online which made it really easy for him to pick out the perfect ring for Sammi. And what a ring it is! If my memory serves me correctly, the first thing out of Sammi's mouth when I met her was *how much she loves it.* Catching up with her about the wedding plans over the past couple of days, I discovered how many compliments she receives - pretty much on a daily basis! This makes us happy since our number one priority as a Minneapolis Jeweler is to make sure the engagement ring is a **10 out of 10** for every bride who is on the receiving end of one of our gorgeous rings.

**Engagement Photo Shoots** have become THE way to officially announce your recent engagement (and pending wedding) to family and friends. We ***love*** the way Sammi and Justin embraced Minnesota culture and local spots ([LynLake Brewery](http://www.lynlakebrewery.com/#about) and a cold-weather [Minnehaha Falls](https://www.minneapolisparks.org/parks__destinations/parks__lakes/minnehaha_regional_park/)) photo shoot. Most bride and grooms flock to the falls in the summer; these two turned the idea on it's head and found beauty in the park during a chillier time of the year. Appropriately enough, the couple prepares to say 'I Do' this coming winter amongst a beloved group of family and friends.
