We're Getting Married!

We got placed on the 3rd floor of LeFevre Hall at WMU our freshman year of college and happened to live five doors away from each other. We met a few times first semester but didn't hang out until we saw each other at a party at the beginning of the second semester. Nik will tell you Emily made the first move, just know he's lying ;). We instantly connected and hung out every day the rest of the semester until we started officially dating in March 2016!

For those who know Emily's parents, it's a normal Friday night thing to go out for dinner and drinks somewhere around Grand Rapids. On occasion, we end up in Grand Haven which is one of Emily's favorite places. For Emily's birthday weekend, she wanted to go out to dinner in Grand Haven. Once Nik found out where we were having dinner, he knew it was the perfect time and place to propose. We ate an amazing dinner then Nik told Emily's parents that he wanted to take a drive out to the beach. Once we pulled up to the beach, we decided to get out of the car to walk the pier. Nik wanted to walk on the beach down to Lake Michigan but Emily's dad claimed his knees were hurting so him and Emily's mom stayed on the pier. Once Nik and Emily got down to the lakeshore, one of Nik's high school friends walked up "running into us." Long story short... Nik's friend starting taking pictures of us then Nik got down on one knee. Of course, I SAID YES!!!!!!!!!!
