PW Reader Ring: Tracey & Mark!


Travey's ring!

Travey’s ring!

The couple: Tracey Desjadon and Mark Czajkowski, from Wayne.

The ring: My ring has a cushion-cut diamond surrounded by a diamond halo, set in platinum. It glistens so beautifully!

I never gave my fiancé any hints or went shopping with him; he picked and designed this ring completely on his own! He worked with Mr. Cook at Walter J. Cook Jeweler in Paoli to custom design it for me, and that makes it that much sweeter!

The proposal: We were up in the Finger Lakes in Aurora, NY on a long weekend trip with all of my best friends. We had planned a couples to go on a bunch of wine tastings, and I had no idea that my fiancé had planned this all along.

We took a tour of MacKenzie Child’s on Cayuga Lake in Aurora—I’d been dying to see how they make their pottery. Afterwards, we were sitting outside on a bench over looking the lake, I looked up and there he was down on one knee! I was so shocked and wasn’t expecting it at all! When we got back to the house, everyone was waiting for us with the whole place decorated, and with bottles of champagne popped and ready to celebrate the rest of the weekend away!

The band: We just started looking at bands ideally I would love a gold band with diamonds around the band entirely!
