Chris tells everyone that we met on Craigslist, so I go with it. We had our first date at One Eyed Betty's in Ferndale for drinks ONLY. Things must have gone pretty well because at the end of date, Chris walked me to my car (R.I.P Heavy Chevy) and said, "I'm going in for the awkward first kiss now." The rest is history!
On my favorite day of the year at the Nicklas Christmas Tree Farm in Metamora, Chris dropped down on one knee and asked me to marry him in front of my parents and our perfect tree [insert sobbing here]. I had spent the last forty-five minutes wandering around the entire farm to look for right one. Chris had the whole tree farm in on our engagement, and it is truly one of the most special moments of our lives so far. That tree will forever be our engagement tree!
We think there is something so special about Northern Michigan. We hope that our up north wedding weekend can be a get away for you to see the fall colors and enjoy the beautiful scenery. We fell in love with Portage Point Inn and we are so excited to share it with you. Nestled between Lake Michigan and Portage Lake; it is truly a hidden gem.
