Adam & Will
Will and Adam knew they wanted to get engaged, it was only a question of when. ‘I couldn’t really imagine life going any other way’, Will says. But planning the engagement had one challenge. ‘A lot of engagement rings are quite dainty and feminine and I wanted something a bit more masculine’.
It’s no secret that traditions around marriage, including rings and who proposes to who, are built on the notion that a man and woman will be getting married. Along with that assumption comes all of the outdated notions about love and life that queer couples are trying to change for modern times.
‘The engagement ring market is mostly geared towards women’, Adam agrees, ‘so it’s hard to find a masculine ring that’s also quite expressive like Will’s is’. He says that even though they had to shop around quite a bit to find something that felt right for Will’s sense of self and style, they didn’t get discouraged. ‘What we liked about Taylor & Hart is that the rings are completely customisable, you can design what you want’, he says.
