I met Gretchen while I was in The Curry School at UVA. I instantly liked this chica…she was sarcastic with a dry sense of humor, loyal, honest, & made me laugh way too much. Gretchen always dreamt of getting married, planning a big “poofy” wedding (with loads of pink), and having lots & lots of babies. You can imagine my excitement when she called me to tell me that she was engaged, and was about to start planning her fairy-tale wedding. First things first…the wedding jewelry. I designed a pair of custom freshwater pearl earrings for her & she chose the chardonnay pearl necklace to wear around her neck (simple, yet elegant.) She looks gorgeous. Now, Mrs. Gretchen…on to babies, right?
