We really did find love in a hopeless place. That place, you might ask, is the Wisconsin Dells. As a group of friends that used to make an annual journey to THE Waterpark Capital of America, fate led us together in the spring of 2015 when we were both in attendance at this gathering. Although it was hard to spend quality one on one time in a group of 28, this trip was the beginning of our journey together. Our first date followed shortly after returning home and we have been inseparable ever since.

As many of you know, we love to travel. In 2019, our adventures led us to Tokyo, Japan. On our first full day there Logan, who had been very particular with his backpack for the whole trip so far, was very adamant on packing it himself and being the only one to carry it. Marissa thought it was odd, but let him do his own thing. Looking back, it is easy to see why he was guarding his backpack so closely, because as we arrived at Yoyogi Park Logan decided to open his backpack and take out a small box. Dropping on one knee, Logan asked Marissa if she would be willing to spend the rest of her life with him. Originally responding with "You're crazy", Marissa eventually gave in and gave a definitive answer of "Yes". Logan was thankful she said yes so he didn't end up embarrassing himself in front of the several Japanese spectators and Cassie, who was kind enough to join us for the trip and document the moment.
