Our current Miss America, Katie Stam, is about to retire her crown this weekend to the next 2010 winner. While at a fundraiser in front of 600 guests, her boyfriend Brian Irk, got down on one knee and proposed to her with an emerald cut diamond engagement ring.
Brian said to her, “I love you so much. Will you be my Miss America forever?”. Katie said she started hyperventilating with the excitement before accepting his offer. The next morning she thought it had been a dream, until she looked at her ring finger and saw the sparkling engagement ring as proof.
Katie has said “It`s bittersweet but being engaged and going back to Indiana knowing that I`m engaged to the man that I love, makes it really special and makes it easier to let go of being Miss America. I`m kind of trading one in for the other”.
Best wishes to the newly engaged couple, and I look forward to seeing the emerald cut engagement ring Brian gave her. what kind of wedding bands will they choose? Will they be RITANI wedding rings? I hope so if they want to have something truly special to symbolize their union.
