Welcome to our wedding website! The day is getting closer and closer! We are both so excited for our big day and to celebrate it with you all! The planning process has been long, but so very exciting! We can't wait for the big day and can't wait to see our families and friends there to celebrate with us! We love you all so much and thank you for all the help along the way! Love - Makena and Andrew

When we met, I was trying to stay out of the dating pool. But after seeing Andrew for 3 months, I knew I wasn't gonna get rid of him. So when we were visiting my home town, we went out to eat at my favorite Mexican place and I began the conversation: I said, "I am offering you an upgrade to the girlfriend package. This includes family holidays, exclusive dates, and the title boyfriend. Would you like to upgrade?" The joke was my way of making up for the nerves of asking him to officially be my boyfriend. Luckily, he thought it was funny too. He replied, "Hmm...I'll have to think about it. I'll get back to you in 3 to 5 business days." I did not appreciate that, lol. But then we traveled to see his family and stopped at his childhood park where he in turn asked me to officially be his girlfriend. That's how we made it official.

Andrew asked if I wanted to get my nails done. That should have been my first sign. After I got a fresh manicure, we went out to dinner at Roots. When he didn't finish his food, I asked if he was okay. "My stomach is just unsettled, I don't know why." That should have been the second sign. After a filling dinner, I wanted to go home and sleep, but he dragged me down to Minnetrista, our favorite walking spot, to a dock right next to the river. On the way, he played some romantic music "on accident" - his words - and I should have known. Finally, we got to the dock and he began telling me all the sweet things you say when you're about to propose, and that's when I was thinking "Holy crap, is he about to propose to me?" He let me go from a long hug, then got down to one knee. Poor man couldn't even get the words "will you marry me" out before I fell into him bawling and mumbling yes as he pulled the ring box out of his pocket. Now, we are finally able to start planning our wedding!
