We’re getting married!

After weeks of “hey, how are yous” from Cole... Emily finally agreed to coffee at Blue Owl in Reo Town. We ended up closing the place down, hugging goodbye, and we’ve seen each other almost every day since.

Emily had only planned on staying in Michigan for three months, but then Covid-19 hit and she continued working in the hospitals in Detroit and Grand Rapids. She isolated from her family and friends, and Cole’s studio apartment in the Lugnuts’ Stadium became their little bubble. Now, here we are.

Well... after designing the ring together, it wasn't exactly a surprise. Cole said, "Would you be pissed if I proposed to you here?" while on a harder-than-expected hike in Big Sur, California... then got down on one knee overlooking a beautiful valley. Lots of tears and shaky hands! It was perfect for us.
