Jordan and Sydney actually attended the same college (UW-Whitewater), however they never met each other there. Little did they know that they had quite a few mutual friends and would meet each other through them. In the summer of 2017, some of those friends met in up Milwaukee and invited Sydney to come downtown as well. Jordan and Sydney met that night and were inseparable ever since!
Jordan and Sydney were moving into their first apartment in Menomonee Falls together. Both of their entire families were there to help and were in on the surprise.. Sydney had no idea anything was happening or planning on happening that day. After a long & sweaty day of moving in. Their families surprised them with a "letter" saying that they made dinner reservations for them to enjoy and celebrate this big first step together. As Sydney and Jordan left their apartment they started walking along the beautiful river that ran behind it. Sydney thought that Jordan was walking kind of slow but didn't think anything of it as Jordan was looking at the river said "I'm so happy we picked this place." Sydney looked out to the water too and and thought the same thing. As Sydney turned to look back at Jordan, Jordan began to get down on his knee... It was so special, intimate and as surreal as Sydney always imagined it would be. After the excitement settled down, Jordan did inform Sydney that they actually did not have dinner reservations and that was just a decoy to get her dressed up and outside for the special moment to happen. They walked back into their new apartment with their families waiting for them with wine, pizza, and lots and lots of hugs! It was absolutely PERFECT!
