We’re getting married!

Matt and I met in college attending Ball State University through playing volleyball and tennis, chirp chirp! Matt and I first met while piling into a car coming home from a party as freshmen. The men's volleyball team and women's tennis team were close and hungout frequently and we became close friends through that. As the years went by our friendship grew and eventually romance sparked and here we are almost 10 years later! We both have met so many amazing people and found each other thanks to a small town in Muncie, Indiana!

Matt proposed to me in Onekama, MI over Labor Day weekend at our family lake house. Onekama has always been a place of many memories involving family. My grandparents honeymooned there and we've been spending summers up at the lake for as long as I can remember. I figured a proposal was near but that same weekend also happened to be a planned celebration of my 30th birthday with family and close friends, so I didn't really see it coming. The night started off with happy hour at Arcadia Bluffs, one of our favorite spots to enjoy cocktails and watch the sunset over the golf course. We all went back the house and as we walked up, my mom said our dog Jackson had gotten out and ran down to the beach which was not an uncommon occurrence for him. I leisurely went to help look for him as I was showing our friends the beach area without much urgency - ha! As we walked up the dune, there was Matt standing at the top with a cute champagne table set up and that's when it hit me - the proposal is happening! Matt got down on one knee and proposed in one of the best places, on the dune overlooking Lake Michigan with our friends and family watching from afar! As we walked back to the house, there everyone was, with sparklers ready to greet us and celebrate a night we will truly never forget! That night and weekend will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and being able to share that moment with friends and family makes it that much more special. Definitely a weekend for the books! We cant wait to continue the celebration with everyone in October!!
