Twas a crisp fall day on the marching band feild, minorly outcasted, a small sophmore (Mckenzi) is taking a water break under the only tree in the lot, and a dorky senior (John) comes to keep her company. Through the marching season they grow closer and closer despite Mckenzi’s best efforts. Finally we are practically dating by marching band finals, yet there is still resistance. Come January of 2015, we began dating. And the rest is history. Through countless fights, laughs, jokes, and kisses we have made it all the way to this. In September 2018, after a random fight, we went for a walk around Hastings College campus to calm the nerves. When we reached the bridge between the JDAC and Arena, John got down on one knee. Now we are ready to promise forever to each other. No matter how messy, stressy, or depressy.
