We met back during high school. It was your typical romance story- he asked me out, I said no. We never stopped being friends, always turning to each other when life kicked us in the butt. It wasn't until life was kicking me down particularly hard that my best friend showed me how easy life could be when you have the right person by your side. Fast forward five years and we are proud homeowners and cat parents!

A little backstory about me (Keeley). I'm a sucker for both lighthouses and Mackinac Island. They both represent my great-grandma Jo. She actually lived in the Fort Gratiot Lighthouse (where we are getting married) and was a regular at Mackinac Island. So when Chad suggested we go to the island for our anniversary trip, I was obviously game! We went, we walked, we had an absolute blast. He then took me out to dinner, then suggested we walk out to a lighthouse on a pier right next to the restaurant. It was so windy and freezing cold and while I appreciated the thought, I was ready to run back to the car until he got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife! My obvious answer was "Oh my god, are you sure?"....(face palm).
