We first met, back in 2017, and after about a month of only texting and phone calls, we knew we had to meet in person! It was a whirlwind seven-hour date, that took us on a tour of Kalamazoo. We started the day with bowling, and by the end of the night, Sawyer almost needed crutches after Sky Zone! It was definitely the most memorable first date either of us experienced.

After unknowingly scoping out the best spot the weekend before, we traveled up to South Haven, Michigan under the assumption that our parents were (finally) meeting. I was suspicious, especially after Sawyer told me we have to get a "nice picture" on the beach this weekend. The good news- Sawyer always knows how to surprise me. As a group we walked up the sand dune, to a private spot overlooking Lake Michigan. It finally hit me when our family stopped walking and started to pull out their phones, that he was about to pop the question. After I said yes, our closest friends also came out of hiding to celebrate immediately. After that, we made our way downtown to dance the night away and celebrate some more!

Thanks for reading a little bit about our past, and thank you for being apart of our present! Here's to hoping you can join us on August 20th, 2022 to begin celebrating our new future. Cheers!
