After attending the same school all of our lives, we re-connected at a New Year’s Eve party our Freshman year of college and discovered that we were both attending Michigan State University. Brionna had been there for a semester at this point, and Nick was about to start after the holidays. Like the generous person she is, Brionna offered to show Nick around a bit, with no alterior motive… yes, let’s go with that. Things took off from there! The two of us started studying together, going to events together, working out together, and we suddenly became inseparable. Here we are 5 years later!
We decided to take a much needed road-trip through northwest Michigan. We spent the day kayaking (it did hail on us temporarily, but we persevered), trekking the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes, and stopping to eat at delicious seafood restaurants. Nick had a plan for the end of the night, and took us to a gorgeous beach hidden amongst the trees. The clouds (to Nick’s relief) dissipated, giving way to a breathtaking view of the sunset. This is where he proposed. It was breathtaking, intimate, and absoltuely perfect.
