Mike and I both met in college while playing soccer at Cleveland State in 2013. Mike was a senior when I was a freshmen. We had a similar circle of friends frequently running into each other at party's and other events on campus. It was not until the summer of 2015 when our mutual friend Sierra organized a weekend trip to Marblehead Ohio where Mike and I officially hit if off. We started dating later that fall and the rest is history!
October 26th, 2019 Mike proposed at Lakewood Park where we would frequently visit to walk Ellie or watch the sunset on the solstice steps. Ellie our English Bulldog of course was a part of the proposal. My brother Tommy and his Fiancé Kelly were in town visiting and were in on the surprise to capture pictures in the moment. Our families and friends surprised us later on in the day to celebrate our big news!
