We met back in high school, but we were never close and never even saw ourselves dating each other. Mitchell was a grade ahead of me, and we were both dating other people. The dating did not come until we had both graduated high school, and I was getting ready to start college.

We were coming up on our 3 year anniversary, and I had just turned 21. We were in Michigan for a styled photoshoot that Mitchell and I had been "chosen" to be the models for. Turns out, Mitchell had been behind the scenes all along and set up an engagement shoot with our photographer. I basically planned my whole engagement and had NO idea!! He proposed during the shoot at sunrise on Lake Michigan. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever experienced and easily the best day of my life.
