Manfredi Memory: Cassidy & John
Engaged on September 9th, 2023
About the Couple
“Two of Cassidy's favorite activities are going on walks and going to the zoo. In fact, the first time John and Cassidy ever visited Chicago together in December 2020, they did just that, even though it was only 10 degrees outside!
On September 9th the couple took off for the Lincoln Park Zoo where they saw lion cubs, a polar bear, and John's favorite animal, an aardvark! After exploring the zoo, John suggested they walk around the South Pond in Lincoln Park. Unknown to Cassidy, John's cousin Megan was hiding there in disguise (wig and all!) to capture the moment when John dropped down to one knee to ask Cassidy if she would marry him. In all the excitement, Cassidy and John are not even sure if she actually said "yes" or if she was too caught up in the moment to speak.
The couple capped off the perfect day with dinner at one of their favorite restaurants, Gejas Cafe, before returning home to celebrate with Chili their dog Chili.” - Cassidy
What made their Manfredi experience memorable?
“The process could not have been easier for John! We both live in Chicago and John was able to complete the entire process over the phone. Ordering a ring without seeing the diamond in person could be worrisome to others, but we knew that with Manfredi's we would be getting the best possible ring while also staying within our budget. We loved that the team really advised John on every aspect - they let him customize the design while also giving suggestions on what would work best and how he could best maximize his budget. Cassidy's first reaction when seeing the ring was true disbelief that something so beautiful was hers!!” - Cassidy
Cassidy’s beautiful dream ring features a solitaire cushion cut diamond on a yellow gold setting.
Congratulations, Cassidy and John!
