It all began when Michael decided to break the ice with Destiny on Instagram by sending her a message cracking a joke. Michael: “How much does a polar bear weigh?” Destiny: “I’m not too sure? 😅” Michael: “Enough to break the ice. Hi, I’m Michael.” And just like that, the spark was lit—and the rest is history! The Proposal Destiny’s 28th birthday was approaching, and we had planned a special dinner with some of our closest family members at Brasão Brazilian Steakhouse. On January 4th, what was meant to be a simple birthday celebration turned into something unforgettable. After we prayed over the meal, Michael stood to make a toast. He congratulated Destiny on completing a successful semester at school and shared how grateful he was to be surrounded by family to celebrate her 28th birthday. Then, with a smile, he said he didn’t want to be her boyfriend anymore—at least, not in the same way. To everyone’s surprise, he got down on one knee and asked her to be his wife. It was the easiest “yes” Destiny had ever given. From the very beginning, Michael had been planning this moment. Choosing Brasão was no accident—it was the place where he and Destiny had shared their very first dinner date three years earlier, making the proposal a beautiful full-circle moment. ❤️
