I was a current student, he was a transfer. I checked him into his dorm, while he was checking me out. We quickly found similar interests and became friends. We recognized our chemistry and Ridge asked me to be his girlfriend outside my apartment in his white mini van. The next 4 years consisted of living in 3 states, 3 graduations and over 3,000 phone calls. Ridge proposed on the exact day we met 4 years before, August 26 2018, at Robinette's Apple Orchard (next door to the spot where we first met). He had driven back from STL to surprise me in Grand Rapids and propose! The day was filled with tears and laughter, while we were surrounded by friends and family after the proposal. We are excited to continue writing our love story and spend this upcoming special day with you!
