It all started in La Crosse, a night neither of us will ever forget. Morgan may have been a little nervous (or maybe just a little clumsy), because before we even had a chance to exchange more than a few words, she accidentally spilled her drink on Brad. But instead of being upset, Brad couldn’t help but smile. There was something about Morgan that made him know, right then and there, that this moment was the start of something special. Morgan also knew it was something special, as she texted one of her BFFs, Liz, "I think I'm in love" from the bathroom during that first date. From that night on, everything just clicked. After only a few weeks of spending time together, we both realized that what we had was rare. Things might have moved quickly, but when you know, you know — and we did. Even Brad's dog (now our dog) Darby knew Morgan was a keeper; they quickly became inseparable too. Time we spent together felt as much like being with your best friend as it did like being with your partner. Our shared love for outdoor adventures, summers at the lake, and hosting outings with friends brought us even closer together. Fast forward to May 2024 — we set off on an epic adventure in Hawaii. After a very long and grueling 13-mile hike along the stunning Kalalau Trail, we finally reached Kalalau Beach. Surrounded by cliffs, ocean, and the kind of beauty that takes your breath away, Brad got down on one knee and asked Morgan to spend forever with him. It was the most fitting proposal for two people who love exploring the world together — a moment that was equal parts adventure and romance. Now, we can’t wait to start our greatest adventure yet — marriage!
