Shortly after Addy moved from Minneapolis to Whitewater, Addy and Quinn met at a college organization called CRU. They immediately hit it off and enjoyed getting to know each other. It didn’t take Quinn long to ask Addy out for coffee.

They kept hanging out and getting to know each other until they both knew they wanted to make their relationship official. One night, after taking a long walk and talking for hours, Quinn asked Addy to be his girlfriend and she said yes. In the year that followed, Addy and Quinn faced many trials together and grew very close. This made them confident that they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together.

Addy and Quinn were set to go out for their one-year anniversary dinner. Before dinner, they had agreed to watch their friend's children for a short time. They pulled up to their friend's house and started walking towards the house, but Quinn instead led Addy to their backyard, where he had set up a light display. He played Addy a song he wrote for her and then got down on one knee with the ring.
