Jewelry District • We took Camille's parents and sister downtown to look at rings. Not many jewelers had yellow diamonds in stock, and the ones who did only had a couple to choose from. Didn't find the perfect one, but we did enjoy lunch together.

Jordan decided to go the custom route. He bought a loose yellow diamond and picked it up right before Christmas. Here, Philippa is checking the diamond's GIA inscription.

Camille: "I had a gut feeling that today was the day. I needed to capture our final moments as boyfriend and girlfriend. Even Lucy knew something was up."
Jordan: "I was trying to play it cool and not make it obvious. I would secretly check my bag to make sure the ring box was still there throughout the day."

LOHO Bride • With Jakey. This is the Labay Viktoria Air gown. The dress Camille had been looking forward to the most was a huge disappointment. C: "I wanted to make sleeves work so badly. I wanted a lot of layers and draping. I tried on several gowns that just swallowed me whole. I even tried gloves. I was sad the look I had envisioned wasn't coming together on my frame. Short gal problems, I guess."
