...it was just another average day for these two 18-year-olds who were working at the Fashion Outlet Mall in Rosemont. Marissa was home from college for the summer working in the food court, while Liam was working in one of the retail stores. It was Marissa's first day on the job, so she was a bit frazzled as she served a lunch rush. Liam, on his lunch break too, approached the counter asking Marissa if she would heat up his food. Although their first interaction was rushed, there was undoubtedly an instant connection. The next day, Liam saw that Marissa was working again and snuck down from work to ask for her number. The rest is history.

Fast forward to May 15, 2021 where Marissa and Liam found themselves golfing in Michigan while visiting family for the weekend. Weekend golf was a typical event for the couple, so Marissa did not suspect anything out of the ordinary. Despite the two not playing their *best* game, they had fun on the course while soaking in the breathtaking views. As they stood on the green of the 18th hole, Liam finished up his putt and then stood behind Marissa to help her line up her putt. As Marissa sunk her shot, she turned around to find Liam dropping down on one knee, pulling out a ring, and asking her to marry him. As she said, "YES!" Marissa's loved ones came running out onto the green from the bushes and clubhouse to celebrate. Upon meeting as just teenagers, Marissa and Liam have grown together over the years. They have stood by each other's sides through life's joys and trials and are so excited to continue to do that as husband and wife. They humbly invite you to join them in celebration on the happiest day of their lives.
