In 2017, two single twenty-somethings took the plunge into something unknown – online dating. Little did they know it would lead to a beautiful journey.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As my now-husband and I met over dinner, we discovered a shared passion for Boston sports, comedy shows, and animals. Then we discovered something else. During our Fourth of July spent at Nantasket Beach, on R St and T St, we had likely crossed paths before.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our shared interests continued to grow, and eventually, we took our first vacation together to Grace Bay Beach. During that vacation, I stumbled upon Dune Jewelry in a gift shop. Eager to commemorate this special trip, I purchased a ring through their website. The Wave Bypass Ring<\/a>, one of many custom jewelry options they had, incorporated sand from Nantasket Beach and Grace Bay Beach, two of my favorite spots.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Hand<\/p>\n

Almost half a decade later, while on a visit to Las Vegas, and after possessing the engagement ring for close to a year, he asked for my hand in marriage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Amid wedding planning, I thought it important to find a lasting memento to commemorate the occasion. An ornament felt like the perfect solution and I knew just the one. When I found Dune Jewelry’s engravable Heart Ornament<\/a>\u2026 #addtocart!<\/span><\/p>\n

After the first try with flowers from my bouquet didn’t pan out, Jessica and the team at Dune promptly offered me another idea: utilizing the lace from my gown! This felt like the perfect choice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With Dune’s team, I made a special keepsake using my wedding color and lace from my dress. It’s a unique piece that my husband and I will treasure for years to come.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
