The story of us begins back in February of 2016. Bobby had a Super Bowl party at his house, and a mutual friend asked if she could bring over a couple friends. Meagan was one of those friends. During the party, Bobby and Meagan talked for a little bit, and even were partners in euchre (the football game was pretty boring that year). At the end of the night, Meagan and Bobby went on their separate ways, not knowing what the future was going to bring.

Fast forward 21 months later, in October 2017, when both of them were watching the Michigan State game and decided to check out their online dating profiles. Both thought that the other person looked familiar, so the match was made pretty quickly. Meagan messaged Bobby right away. They talked quite a bit that night, and continued for the next couple weeks. After Meagan got tired of waiting for Bobby to ask her out on a date, she finally asked him. Of course Bobby agreed, and right away they watched their friendship begin again.

The first date began at Lansing Brewing Company. Both could feel butterflies at first, Bobby a lot more so than Meagan. That feeling quickly went away as they had dinner and drinks, and talked for a couple of hours. Meagan asked Bobby to go to a bar down the street to watch some live music. Even though Bobby was exhausted, he did not want the night to end. They stayed out until 1:00 am, and both were excited for the next one, so they could get to know each other better. The next date took place only 5 days later. By then, Bobby was ready for it. They met for a Mexican dinner, which is Meagan's favorite. Once again, the conversations flowed very easily, and the night ended with both wanting to see one another again soon. The next date was two days later at a Michigan State hockey game. After the game, they both went to a restaurant and talked for another hour or so. Bobby then walked Meagan to her car, and he really wanted to kiss her. However, Meagan got in her car and drove away, leaving Bobby standing in the middle of the parking lot. The following night, Bobby had his work Christmas party. Even though he really wanted her to come, he had to RSVP before their first date. Luckily, she came to meet up with him and his friends at a bar and finished the night dancing and playing giant Connect 4 (Meagan won). She offered to give Bobby a ride back to his house. The short trip consisted of smiles, laughing, and radio karaoke. There was definitely a connection between them, and they both could feel it on the way home. That night they had their first kiss in the car at Bobby's house, and they could both see the sparks fly. One week later, while walking through the Wild Lights at Potter Park Zoo, Bobby asked Meagan if she wanted to start dating. Of course Meagan said yes. The following 10 months were full of fun, adventures, and the beginning of a long future together.

The events that took place on October 28th, 2018 (exactly one year after they matched online) are what brought you here today. On a cold, rainy morning on their way to brunch, Bobby wanted to stop by a park, which just so happened to be Meagan's favorite place on MSU's campus. He wanted to "test out the camera on his new phone." They hurriedly walked to the back of the park where there was a giant stone cutout of the state of Michigan. Bobby took a quick selfie, and then knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring. To this day, both Meagan and Bobby don't really remember what was said during that time because of nerves and excitement (Meagan is pretty sure she said "yes" though). Luckily, Bobby had photographers in place to capture the moment. The morning finished off at brunch, where both families and some close friends surprised Meagan, and joined in on the engagement celebration. Both Meagan and Bobby are excited for you to join them in celebrating their love story at their wedding! Time to get #RaudyInTheMitin!
