Customer Stories: True Love in a Pandemic

Shane Co. customer Harper Grae was ready to propose to her girlfriend before lockdown orders began to take effect across the country. Luckily, with a little help from Shane Co., she was able to create an even more magical proposal and ended up celebrating true love with her amazing fiancé.

Originally, Harper was planning on going down on one knee after running in (and training hard for) the Nashville Marathon. When the marathon was abruptly canceled, Harper decided that she wasn’t going to let COVID-19 stop her from getting engaged to her sweetheart.

With Shane Co. stores being closed for the safety of our customers and employees, Harper contacted us to see if there was any way we could help make her proposal dreams a reality. “I had the most incredible experience at the Nashville Shane Co. location,” she said. “With everything that happened during COVID-19 and the store closing, they worked with me and had the ring overnighted so I could pull off my new proposal. And to say the ring was perfect is an understatement!”

After securing the ring, Harper ran her new proposal plan by her now-fiancé’s daughter for approval. She received an excited “Yes!” and an offer of help, so the plan was set into motion! Harper created a heart out of candles and flowers while Mom and daughter were sent on a scavenger hunt. Upon returning, Harper was finally able to pop the question — both to her girlfriend and to her little one. Luckily, she got the answers she was looking for! They celebrated with an at-home meal from their favorite Nashville restaurant. You can see more of Harper’s proposal story in the video below, plus hear the beautiful song she wrote to her fiancé.
