We're getting married!

We met on a dating site called Plenty of Fish. Chris's profile mentioned "throwing out a line to catch a keeper," which was cute and clever considering the name of the site we were on. It wasn't until about a month into dating that we found out our families actually knew each other! Long story short, both of our mom's families are from Bloomer which is a small town in Wisconsin. We may have even met as kids! Needless to say, it felt like fate from the start.

Our one year dating anniversary was coming up and we planned to do something a little fancy and go out to dinner at Fogo de Chao. He originally planned to propose at the restaurant but decided he wanted to make it more memorable. The week before our anniversary we went ice fishing. He proposed right over a fishing hole with the song "Big, Big Plans" playing, We are just lucky the ring didn't fall down the hole! Regardless, it was a great moment to share with the friends that were there. We popped open a bottle of champagne and celebrated!
