Tom proposed on January 22, 2006, Bryanne's 21st birthday.

It was a beautiful, private moment for the couple and they are so happy to be sharing the good news with their friends and family.

The ring is an antique that came to the US from Syria on Bryanne's great-grandmothers finger. The ring is very sentimental and special to the bride to be, and she adores her fiance for getting it and making the proposal absolutely perfect. The couple is very grateful to Bryanne's mother, who refused to accept payment and added her blessing to the engagement in giving them the ring.

Bryanne and Tom are tentatively planning a wedding for the beginning of 2007.

We've set our date! The ceremony will take place early that Friday evening at the couples home church and the reception will follow at Round Hill in Washingtonville.
