Michael and Jade met back in middle school in 2005. We shared some of the same mutual friends but never hung out. It was not until our senior year in high school when we would have our first date. After high school Michael and Jade stayed in touch throughout the years, both figuring out what their purpose in life was. It was not until early 2018 when they both realized that they were meant to be and wanted to spend the rest of their lives together.

So you ask... how did Michael propose to Jade? November 3, 2018 Michael was planning to take Jade out for her birthday celebration. Little did Jade know that Michael had Jade's childhood friends and family working behind the scenes to make the proposal extraordinary for Jade. Michael plotted with friends to get Jade's ring size without her knowing it. Friends and family helped Michael plan the proposal venue and the engagement party venue, the ring delivery, the guest list and food for the party and even Jade's proposal dress! The evening proposal was planned for Castaways in San Bernardino overlooking the city lights. There were white roses (Jade's favorite) and letters from Michael for many events of their journey leading up to the big moment. After dinner, Michael gave the "one knee" proposal and "SHE SAID YES!" But that was only part one of the proposal. For part two, Michael proceeded to blindfold Jade and drive her to the next destination of their event. When they arrived, the blindfold was removed and Jade walked into a room filled with about 40 friends and family members waiting to celebrate a beautiful proposal and the beginning of a wonderful union.
