After he proposed, wehad the pleasure of meeting Carolina when it came time to design their wedding bands. For their wedding bands, they each wanted different Celtic knots to form the basis of their rings. Dan’s band is a little wider like a traditional men’s band, and Carolina’s thinner band features tighter woven knots.
