We met at my favorite bar, The R.I.V., the Thursday before classes started our Senior Year at MSU. Collin was working as the bouncer at the time and I went there every week with my friends.
He said that we would be going to dinner in downtown Detroit with his mom and grandparents who had just flown in from out of town. He asked if I would want to go a little early and walk around the Christmas lights at Campus Martius. As we entered the park, he held my hand as we walked and he started talking about us. Then as we neared the tree, he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I burst into tears immediately and was completely surprised! Of course I said yes. Still in shock, staring at the beautiful ring on my finger, he led me into the nearest building for surprise number 2, where all of our family was waiting to celebrate. It was the perfect moment and most perfect night.
