Join us at Cloud 9 for a celebration of our marriage!

Kamryn and Nate met in 2012 at Central Michigan University. Nate was attending CMU for his masters degree, and Kamryn was finishing up her bachelor's degree in biomedical sciences. The two met through mutual friends while jogging one afternoon. Ironically, neither Kamryn or Nate has done much jogging since. After hanging out a few times they started dating and have been together ever since!

We took a trip to northern Michigan to stay at Kam's family's cottage for the weekend, with the intention of proposing that weekend. I arranged a tasting at our favorite winery and then a walk into the vineyard after the tasting where I would propose. Well, we arrived late (of course) only adding to the stress of the day. However, once we finished our tasting we took a walk up to the vineyard. As we were walking up to vineyard we heard classical music being played, what sounded like a radio, and some loud bangs going off. We were both a little unsure about what was going on, so we decided to walk a bit further and then turn around. We had not gotten quite to the point of the vineyard where I wanted to propose, so I had to improvise and distract Kam by making her look at one of the vines while I got on one knee and pulled out the ring. When she turned around I asked her to marry me and she said yes! When we got back to the winery we asked about the noises going off and they told us it was to keep the birds away because they were harvesting the next week! We had a good laugh and enjoyed a glass of wine on the patio. What a great day!
