Today, we would like to tell you about a romantic marriage proposal that took place on the storied Ponte Vecchio, the most ancient medieval bridge of Florence.
Have you ever been to Florence before? Florence is one of the most romantic cities of the World, and it is in Tuscany region in the heart of Italy.
Tuscany is famous worldwide for its culture: food, wine and historical places visited by the most famous artists of the World.
Our main characters of the story are Michael and Sarah. These two American guys are united by a timeless love; indeed, they met each other at their high school in Ohio.
They booked they trip in Italy many months ago and one of the cities in which they stayed more was Florence, because they both enjoy the same passions for art and architecture. For this reason, Michael nervously chose this city as the unforgettable place in which to propose to her girlfriend.

Michael was full of love but at the same time nervous with the amazing engagement ring inside his pocket. Michael booked a private aperitive to share all the beauty of the timeless Ponte Vecchio only with the love of his life, Sarah.
But, looking back to the previous stage of that romantic gesture, we must talk about the choosing of the perfect engagement ring for Sarah. He decided to buy it right at Ponte Vecchio. With an excuse, he left his girlfriend sleeping and he decide to buy the ring she liked the previous day. So, from that moment he kept the ring in his pocket, in this way Sarah would not have spoiled the surprise. But why Michael chose Ponte Vecchio as the place in which to buy the symbol of his eternal love for Sarah?
The jewelry shops on Ponte Vecchio have a rich history, some dating back since the 13th-century, and they are known for the traditional craftsmanship that has passed down through generations. Many of the pieces showcase intricate designs, featuring precious gemstones and meticulous detailing. The allure of these jewelers lies not only in the beauty of their creations but also in the romantic ambiance of the bridge itself.
In one of these shops, Michael found the ring that captured Sarah’s attention: a simple white gold ring set with an African diamond.
