Devin and Jade met through a mutual friend in 2014. After a night of laughter and dancing together, they went on a few dates but remained friends. After keeping in contact for about 2 years, Devin asked Jade to be his girlfriend just before the clock struck midnight on New Year's Eve 2016. Jade and Devin fell in love very quickly after that New Year's evening, and the rest, as they say, is history.

After 4 and a half years of waiting (Jade was very patient), Devin planned a trip to Duluth over the 4th of July weekend. Devin planned a hike to Gooseberry Falls on 4th of July. They hiked all over the park looking for a secluded beach Devin heard about from his co-worker. Once they got to the beach area, Devin pulled Jade in for a big hug, after a few breaths, he pulled away and got down on one knee and pulled a ring box from the secret compartment in his backpack. He said the words "Will you marry me?". Jade yelled "yes" and grabbed the ring out of the box without thinking twice. Devin laughed about this later and they had to re-enact the proposal on steps by the waterfall so Devin could put the ring on her finger. It was a perfect day.
