Our story all began at the famous Oktoberfest parade in La Crosse, Wi on September 28th, 2019. Marissa attended the parade with brother Justin and his roommate Katie. They met up with Katie's friends Mike and Dustin. After the parade, they went their separate ways only to meet up again later in the day. While walking back to Dustin's house with the group, Dustin picked a beautiful leaf and gave it to Marissa. (Dustin claims it was a flower..it was not). After some games of beer darts at Dustin's house, Marissa beat Dustin in a game of 1 on 1 in basketball. Later that night, Dustin asked Marissa to go on a date later in the week.
First date: October 2nd Dustin picked Marissa up and took her to Huck Finn's on the water. It was pouring rain and they were the only two people in the whole restaurant. They spent over 2 hours talking and the rest is history...
Dustin and Marissa went to Dustin's family cabin in Nekoosa, Wi for the weekend. We spent a great day riding ATVs to the beach, playing mini golf, and going out to eat at the clubhouse. As the sun was setting, Dustin asked Marissa to go for a walk on the golf course. We walked a few holes and turned around. Dustin proposed right behind the family cabin on the second hole!
