Our love story began unexpectedly on October 21, 2023, in a bar in Bay City, Michigan. Though he was living in Wisconsin at the time, a chance meeting quickly turned into something neither of us could ignore. We exchanged contact information that night and, from that moment on, talked every single day. Distance never felt like a barrier—only an invitation to try harder. We made a promise to see each other at least once a month, whether it meant trips to Wisconsin, visits to his hometown of Kingsford, Michigan, his journeys back to Bay City, and Las Vegas! With every mile traveled, our bond grew stronger. What began as long conversations and weekend visits soon became a life we were building together. On January 19, 2025, that life took a big step forward when he moved to lower Michigan, closing the distance for good. Just a few months later, on April 11, 2025, he asked the question that made forever official. What started as a chance meeting turned into a love rooted in commitment, effort, and the certainty that we had found our person.
