Ryan and Mary are a true 21st century couple! They met online and had their first date on July 17th, 2017 at the Ann Arbor Botanical Gardens. They instantly hit it off & never looked back.

Just after arriving at Interlochen State Park for the 26th annual Burdgick camping trip, Ryan suggested that they take a walk to the beach to "scope out good beach spots." Once they had discovered a secluded area right on the shore of the lake, Ryan got down on one knee and pulled out a small green box. Mary was completely surprised but of course said yes! They immediately went back to tell Mary's anxiously awaiting parents the news. They already knew exactly what was happening and had champagne ready to celebrate!
