Porsha Williams Gets Emotional After Buying Simon Guobadia His Own Engagement Ring

Porsha Williams decided to include her husband in one of the oldest engagement traditions. While she’s been seen rocking a huge stone, Simon didn’t have a physical reminder of his engagement. But, according to the recent videos shared to her Instagram account, Porsha changed that.

Dressed in a bright orange jumpsuit, Porsha is seen across multiple pieces of footage. She moves excited and overjoyed, telling the jeweler “whatever he wants” as she handed them her card to swipe for purchase.

They’re not alone on their visit, alongside them is their two friends, who appeared to be doing some engagement ring shopping of their own.

In one clip, Porsha is being recorded as she wipes away happy tears. Her friend points out behind-the-camera that Porsha’s crying over Simon’s ring.

“So thankful,” Porsha said in between tears, while her friend points out that Simon is also shedding a few wet ones. “Is he crying too? No, you’re lying.”

When the couples reunite in another video, Porsha heads straight for her man. They both hold each other in a tender embrace for a few seconds before the video cuts off.

“I said yes and so did he,” Porsha wrote in an Instagram caption. “Yes we both are professing our love and reminded every time we look down at our left hand that thus is a promise and love that will last a lifetime!! We will be husband and wife and I can’t freaking wait! Love you Pooh!

The Ring

Per Porsha’s Instagram page, it appears Simon chose a simple black band with silver trim on each end. The engagement ring came from Tiffany & Co. Simon later took to his own Instagram account to thank his soon-to-be bride for the gift.

“Thank you so much babe for the beautiful engagement ring you got me,” Simon wrote. “It symbolizes that we are on this journey together. Nothing else to be said other than I love you infinitely, and I promise that my love and actions would speak much louder than my words. Love you.”
