Mitchell & Kimberley

The theme of Found - Forged - Future represents the essence of Mitch and Kim’s journey together, and it was the very framework used in the proposal. 

​

Just before attending the opera Turandot at the Sydney Opera House in three acts (their very first opera together) on their anniversary in February 2022, they started their own three-act engagement process:

​

​​Found: They met in Australia,

Forged: They built a lasting and resilient relationship over the years, and

Future: The many adventures and experiences yet to come.

​

Mitch presented the opal stone just before boarding the ferry from Manly to the city on the way to the opera that marked the very spot they had met. Exactly one year later, the proposal with the ring took place on one of the wildest anniversary days—racing their car on an official race track in Bathurst, finding shelter from a massive hailstorm beneath the roof of a petrol station leading up to the proposal on top of a mountain in Orange. ​

​

Fittingly, the engagement ring mirrors the theme: The opal was found in Lightning Ridge in Australia,  and forged into a ring in Germany reflecting the union of their unique origins.The culmination of past moments leads into the future with all its possibilities.
