Noel and Maranda became friends freshman year of high school after they were introduced by Halee Warren (Maid of Honor). Through the trials and tribulations of high school, they got to know each other better through group hang-out sessions and home dance parties. The two remained friends throughout high school and into the first year of college. One day, everything changed. Noel asked Maranda out for coffee... just the two of them. This was odd, because they never spent time together, just the two of them. It was even weirder because Noel didn't like coffee. After that outing, things were just different. They spent nearly every day together for months. They officially started dating on June 2nd, 2016. They went on trips and participated in new sports and hobbies together, but most importantly, they knew that this relationship was different. In 2018, they moved into their first apartment together in Belleville, Michigan. One year later, Maranda left for Colorado for an internship. The struggles of long-distance didn't stand a chance against their relationship. Their love held strong and they talked every day. Maranda's internship was cut short due to COVID, and she returned to Michigan to their rental home in Dearborn Heights, Michigan. A few years later, a lot of memories, and two dogs later, they purchased their first home in South Lyon, Michigan. This is where Noel proposed to Maranda on September 23rd, 2023. Now, Maranda and Noel are enjoying their time in their home, working on LOTS of home projects, caring for their pups, and continuing to grow, respect, and love one another. Nearly 9 years later, Noel and Maranda couldn't be happier. They are so excited to make this commitment to one another, and celebrate this special moment with all of you!
