Today, I write about three reality stars who either popped the question or announced their engagements in January and February.  

Mariah Brown Engaged

Mariah Brown, of Sister Wives fame, announced her engagement to girlfriend Audrey Kriss this February. She popped the question at the Women's March in Washington, D.C., on January 16. Surrounded by a crowd of women, Mariah knelt down on one knee and presented a ring to Audrey. The ring appears to be a classic diamond solitaire set in white or yellow gold. Mariah chose the moment to commemorate their first date two years prior. Mariah describes the first march as "such a special time," expressing that she planned to propose there. Audrey, so overcome with emotion, cried and cried. Mariah stood up, gave her a kiss, and then heard those around her asking if Audrey said, "Yes." She hadn't. "I do! I do!" she cried. Eventually, the stunned Audrey said, "Yes."  

JJ Lane Engaged to Kayla Hughes

You may remember JJ Lane from his appearance on The Bachelorette. Today he works as an investment banker. On January 28, he announced his engagement to Kayla Hughes. He spent four months planning the proposal, teasing Kayla along the way. JJ told the former NFL cheerleader to make sure she had her nails done at all times between January and April. He surprised her during a vacation trip to Hawaii. On the Beach at the Beach House Restaurant in Kuai, at sunset, JJ knelt on one knee and popped the question. Kayla said yes, so he slipped a gorgeous diamond solitaire on a yellow gold band onto her finger. In his many social media announcements, JJ Lane credits New World Diamonds with the creation of the custom made ring. New World Diamonds specializes in lab-created diamonds. Lab-created diamonds, they say, provide a sustainable, conflict-free, earth-friendly option for engagement rings. I estimate Kayla's lab-created rock weighs between 2 and 4 carats.  

Abram Boise Engaged to Rachel Missie

Abram Boise is a long-time MTV reality TV star. He starred in Road Rules and The Challenge. On Valentine's Day, Abram asked Rachel Missie to marry him. On Instagram, Rachel explains that she is not a big fan of jewelry. In fact, she doesn't even like diamonds. When picturing her special day in the future, she always skipped the engagement ring. "I never thought I would connect with someone on such a level and if I did, would only have a wedding band," she wrote. Abram asked her to think more deeply about the idea of an engagement ring. She did some searching and came upon the Montana blue sapphire, a gorgeous and unique stone! One tidbit she gives away as to the meaning of the stone for her? It matches his eyes. The ring features what looks like it might be a copper band with a tear-drop shaped, bezel-set, cabochon Montana sapphire. It is simply gorgeous. Congratulations to all! May love and joy abound in your lives together!
