Home from her first year of college, McKenzie and a couple of hometown friends decided to make a trip to Ann Arbor to visit their friend who was attending the University of Michigan for a day of tubing on the Huron River. Despite the rain that poured down the entire ride up, the girls made it and held out for the weather to improve. Within a few hours, the sun was out and we headed to the river. Meanwhile, Noah had just finished a workout with plans to also meet up with friends at the Huron River, but not before taking a nap. Luckily he woke up, hopped on his moped and arrived at the exact time we were all in line to rent our tubes. With our two friend groups now mingling, it took a while for Noah to finally link up with Kenz and be her tubing buddy. The rest of the day goes as follows, Noah and Kenz finding every opportunity to see each other. But by the next day, McKenzie had gone home to Monroe and before we knew it the summer had passed. Now it's September and McKenzie is back in South Bend, IN when we finally reconnect and we've been together ever since!

Almost 5 yrs later, at the same river we met on in Ann Arbor, MI, Noah flew home from The Basic School in Quantico, VA to surprise McKenzie with a proposal in front of our families. Seriously, how did he pull that off?!

As to everyone's surprise, we ourselves did not know we would be getting married on Friday, June 26th. But in 48 hours, we pulled it off (thank you Ohio for the same-day marriage license) and met on the Furbush family farm in Mt. Victory, OH. McKenzie wore her mother's wedding dress, last worn on October 20, 1990 and Noah was surprised with McKenzie's father's wedding band to seal their vows. We cannot thank you all enough for the unconditional support and genuine curiosity to keep up with our crazy, unpredictable lifestyle. You helped us to be able to easily make our quick decision on June 26, 2020, but we missed you. We hope we can express to you our greatest appreciate for your love on our 2nd Wedding Anniversary in Monroe. LET'S FINALLY CELEBRATE!
