Nikki & Vicki
Nikki and Vicki met while living together at university, where years of friendship slowly developed into something more.
‘It reached a point where we thought, why are we pretending that we are just friends?’, Nikki says of the turning point in their relationship. ‘It got to the stage where it would have been silly to not give it a go!’. Nikki, a self-described dreamer, knew that she wanted to propose right from the beginning. Vicki was a bit more conservative about getting on to the next phase of their love but knew that once their lives had taken shape a bit more, their time would come.
But all the factors that held them back from getting married didn’t stop either girlfriend from dropping hints about engagement ring designs.
Whenever they’d pass shop windows Vicki would point out her favourites and things she definitely didn’t want. ‘When the time came around to actually designing the ring, I knew exactly what she wanted,’ Nikki says.
