Well, she finally got engaged last year, and she did not end up using her grandfather’s diamond for her engagement ring.
Apparently, the cut style and color were just not what she wanted for her ring, and her grandfather knew that.
In fact, he even offered to have the diamond recut just for her. But, she reportedly begged him not to make any changes to the heirloom.
“Because it is very valuable, and I know how much it means to him. And he agreed that when I get married, he will set it into a necklace to be worn on my wedding day instead,” she explained.
Now, though, her stepsister Katie is set to get engaged soon, and her father will most likely be walking Katie down the aisle.
So, it appears that her stepmom, Laura, decided to ask her grandfather if he would give Katie the diamond– since her father views Katie as one of his own daughters anyway.
According to her, though, her grandfather could not have been more against the idea. In fact, he literally said, “Not even over my dead body.”
So, that has since caused a lot of family drama. Namely, her father, Laura, and Katie are extremely upset. Plus, they have since asked her to get involved.
Apparently, her father suggested that she talk to her grandfather and ask if Katie could be allowed to use the diamond for a few reasons.
First, she never used the diamond for her own engagement ring. Second, her father considers Katie a real part of the family and will forever.
“So, it should be okay for her to have it, especially since Katie is older, so the ‘first’ woman, as it were,” she added.
