We were set up on an old-school blind date by Sarah's mother! She worked with Michael and could see what a great catch he was! We spoke on the phone for a few weeks before finally meeting up! After talking non-stop for a few hours we both knew this was different and we were excited to see where it could lead!
Originally Michael was going to propose during our one year anniversary trip to the mountains that July but Sarah being Sarah figured that out pretty quick. Michael had to quickly come up with a new idea and he decided to propose at the house that they were building together. With the help of some family and friends and lots of secret emails back and forth a plan was made! Michael was finding out how hard it was to surprise Sarah! All the moving parts to the plan were working and in place. Even though it was still a surprise Sarah had ended up figuring out what was going to happen the night before. It was still super sweet and we loved that it was just us two (well besides two of Sarah best friends hiding and taking pictures behind a construction port-a-john!)! The whole family was gathered at a restaurant wanting for the call that the question had finally be asked! It was special to have such a huge moment happen at the house we were building and starting a life together.
