When did Jenna and Greg get engaged?
We were engaged on June 27, 2005 after dating
for just under three years.
How did it happen?
Returning home from play practice for "Sweeney
Todd" in Dexter, I (Jenna) opened the door to our home to find Greg dressed
up, on one knee, in a decorated and clean apartment, and a ring in his hand.
He asked me to marry him, saying he's loved me since the first day we started
dating, and I, of course, said yes!!
Did he ask her dad's permission?
Yes! My parents were vacationing in California.
On the day of the engagement, Greg had been desperately trying to get ahold
of them. They had been gone all day marching around various vineyards, and
when they finally returned to their hotel, the clerk notified them that
Greg had been calling for them repeatedly, saying "something about your
daughter." Mom and Dad were panicked and feared the worse, but luckily it
was just Greg calling to ask Ed's permission. Ed and Sharon granted it happily
and then gave him the appropriate verbal spanking for scaring them!
What's the ring like?
The ring is beautiful and can be seen by
clicking here or by visiting pictures,
and then clicking on "The Ring." The most important thing about the ring
is that Greg designed it with Mr. Schlanderer of Schlanderer and Sons, knowing
only that I wanted something unique. It has a cushion shaped, brilliant
diamond weighing 1.01 carats, surrounded by fourteen small diamonds, totalling
up to a 1.25 carat ring. It is VS2 level clarity (very slightly included
or internally flawed, very clear, in otherwords), and has a color grade
of E (the second best!). The setting is "gypsy" which means that the stones
are flesh with the ring's surrounding surfaces (it's great because it doesn't
snag!).
Have you picked a date?
Yes! September 8th, 2007.
Have you picked a location?
Yes! We are planning on getting married on
my parents beautiful, 18 acre woodland property. They have a flat, grassy
surface next to a stream that we think will be perfect. Although it will
be an outdoor wedding, it will be in a tent, so stop worrying. Both the
ceremony and the reception will be held here. Thanks to Jenna's parents
for being so supportive of this decision! You can see pictures of the area
