We met each other on a online dating app back in 2017. We spoke for a few days about how obnoxious online dating was and exchanged a few outrageous encounters we have had while on the website. We then decided to meet for our first date at Sherwood Brewery in Utica. We hit it off right away finding out Britta grew up right around the corner from Carl’s grandparents and Britta even graduated with one of Carl’s cousins. We left that night having our first kiss. On our second date we went out for pizza and Britta basically never went home. The rest is history!
Carl and I planned a trip up to Mackinaw Island with Haileigh and Matt for their wedding anniversary. We drove up to the island and took the fairy over. Keep in mind this is Carls 1st time ever going to Mackinaw Island. The first thing we did on the island was go to the Grand Hotel and have lunch. It was funny because as we walked into the side of the hotel to get lunch reservations there was a cute flower shope that Haileigh was diligently looking for some flowers but ended up not getting anything so i shurgged it off lol. Heading upstairs we had the most wonderful lunch in the grand dining room. After lunch we headed to the grand porch which Carl has never experienced. I was so excited to show him and take the famous picture. As Carl was due for a photo we got in position to take our picture. As I went to grab the phone from Hail Carl said wait I can make this photo better! I turned around and he got on one knee, pulled out a wooden box that he made and everything went blank haha. He asked me to marry him and I of course said YES!!!! It was the perfect moment i think I have ever had and I didnt cry at all!!! Until about 5 minutes after and I cried like a baby. All of our family started calling congratulating us as we sat on the grand porch having a glass of champange. It was just the most amazing moment. I cannot wait to marry the most amazing man!!! Thank you Matt & Haileigh for helping make the proposal perfect!!! We love you♥️
