The year was 2014, Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran was blasting on the radio, Ebola was the only global pandemic we had to worry about, and Lizzy and Shayne were beginning to see that spark of love between each other. At the time, it was unclear if this was meant to be while Lizzy was moving to Stevens Point for college and Shayne was pursuing his degree in Wausau. Fate stepped in on one of their many trips down to Six Flags Great America when, sitting underneath a shelter in the pouring rain, Shayne grabbed Lizzy’s hand and said, “I can’t just be your friend anymore...I want to be your boyfriend. Will you be my girlfriend?”. How could she not say yes to a guy who had superhero posters hung up above mis-matched furniture in the living room?! Well, she said yes! Fast forward three wonderful years of falling deeper and deeper in love with each other, it was Thanksgiving Day at Lizzy’s grandparents house in Crivitz, WI. The family was cleaning up dinner plates and getting ready to serve dessert. Shayne snuck downstairs to grab a very special box from Bling, Lizzy’s mom’s jewelry store. After Shayne getting shooed away multiple times to help get plates and silverware, grandparents walking out of the room, people starting the dishes, Shayne, with the help of Lizzy’s parents, FINALLY got everyone to gather around. Cameras ready, Shayne’s hands still shaking nervously, Lizzy confused out of her mind at this point...Shayne got down on one knee and said, “I love you. And I never want to stop loving you. Will you marry me?”. Spoiler alert: She said YES!! Another three years go by, Lizzy has just finished up her nursing degree and is starting her new job, they are buying a house together, and another global pandemic is upon us. While 2020 has thrown many challenges at them, Lizzy and Shayne's relationship has grown stronger with every step and are extremely excited to (safely) celebrate their marriage with their loving friends and family! See you all at the wedding!
