Michael and Callie's own stories are interesting to say the least but things only became more interesting when it became their story. In Spring 2016, both beginning new adventures of their own at the time, they both began a new, similar adventure, a dreaded dating app! However, right out of the gates, they met each other and they both knew something was special about the other and were thankful something brought them together. Their relationship started to grow but it also became more complicated as they both already had personal goals that had not yet been completed. Work and travel continued over the next couple years making the road tough but it is also what deepend and strengthened their feelings for one another in what came to be an anything but a typical love story.
After almost three years officially into their relationship, talks were had and the time had come, Michael planned to propose to Callie. In doing what they do best, they travelled to Charleston, South Carolina where Callie had wanted to visit for some time. At the beautiful Magnolia's Plantation on a quaint little red bridge, Michael got down on one knee and popped the question. His ring-holding hand shaking in nervousness, Callie's startled face could not hold back her joy while saying "Yes!". One part of their adventure was coming to an end while the next was just beginning.
