We first met when he asked me to go out with him and his friends for his birthday to Ballpark Village. We were talking for awhile before this and we had a really good connection but I was so nervous and almost backed out of going, but something told me to go for it and I am so glad I did! Everything felt so natural for us, like we had known each other forever. We had a lot of fun although Andre ended up getting so drunk, I don't think he remembered most of the night. lol.
We were taking an annual trip up to Michigan with our kids to see family. He told me prior to going that he had set up family pictures for while we were up there. I picked out matching family outfits and was super excited about it because we hadn't really had family pictures with us and the kids. Well pictures ended up being scheduled for my birthday and were set up in a cute little decorated truck and his childhood friend Lauren was the photographer. She had us take pictures with the kids and then started doing couple pictures and right in the middle of it he got down on one knee and proposed. I was totally caught off guard so my reaction was "what?!?!" and then "Yes!" and then our family pic session turned into engagement photos. It was such a beautiful surprise proposal. We are so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you!
