When I was a young child, I had always dreamt of this moment. There we were, standing amidst the dunes in my Hometown of Cape Cod Massachusetts. Beachcombers as we are, my boyfriend and I were combing the sand for hidden treasures, anxious to find that one special shell. Surprisingly, he exclaimed, "Come look at this one, Honey!"As I got closer I saw that in his hand was not a shell, but a Calla^TMCut Engagement ring! He then got to his knees and said to me, "Sweetheart, I could search these shores Beyond Eternity, and never find a treasure as beautiful as you!" My heart leapt for joy, and as I looked at the brilliance now firmly planted on my hand, I knew that my childhood dreams had been fulfilled, and more.
