How They Met

Sometime in 2008

Back in the beginning of their adult lives sometime, Carli was visiting home from university where she was invited to a coed Recreational soccer game. She saw him from across the room and couldn't wait to get to know him better. Little did she know, he was over there thinking the same thing about her. Both fairly reserved back then, they went their separate ways only to find one another on MySpace about six months later. They met up just once every time Carli was in town from university and popped into one another's Facebook Messenger every so often in between. Years pass by when one day, they realized through a mutual friend that they were attending the same university that year. They met up at a party one night and the rest fell into place. It was meant to be.

The Proposal

June 24, 2018

Mike invited Carli to a casual kayak and dinner at the cabin to welcome his Grandma home from Hawaii. It was just another Sunday morning when Mike picked out Carli's outfit, as he sometimes does. It was a beautiful sunny, perfect day. When returning from the kayak adventure, Carli walked up the pathway first, Mike trailing behind with ring box in hand tucked behind his pocket. When rounding the corner, Mike's sister was taking an awful lot of photos, Mike's dad and his wife had arrived while they were out. Incidentally, Carli's parents were also waiting for them as they walked into the space. Carli started to catch on and when she looked behind her for confirmation from Mike, he was down on one knee, waiting to pop the question. She said, "YES!".
