We met in High School and went to school together, but didn't actually meet or hangout until we were in college. We worked together at the Rec Center in Presque Isle where many of you know us as "Coach Emma and Coach Mike".... we instantly clicked and began our friendship there. Not long after, our friendship turned into something sweeter when Michael finally got the guts to ask me out. We went on our first date with 2 other close friends and the rest is history. Cheesy some of you would say, but more than anything we have always tried to keep our friendship the main focus of our relationship because that's ultimately how it began.

If you know Emma, you know how indecisive she can be. Michael had planned to propose on a family canoe trip where we could celebrate with family and friends but of course a day before the trip when brought up in conversation, Emma mentioned she might have wanted "the proposal" to just be the two of them for something more intimate. You guessed it, she changed her mind. At a family BBQ a few weeks later Michael finally popped the question, got down on one knee... and the celebration began. After all that, it was a surprise and although Emma tried to run away while crying she did say yes! We celebrated the night away with our closest friends and family.
