Our story starts with a chance "like" on Match in August 2021. We ended up talking/texting for about three weeks before our first date at Uncle Ray's Dairyland. We played putt-putt and had ice cream on one of the hottest days of the summer. It was another two weeks before our next date, but we never missed a day of texting or talking on the phone after work. We both knew after our second date that this was something special. By the time October rolled around, we had already been planning our future together. When you know, you know, right?! After countless weekends of back and forth from Fenton to Pinckney, we officially moved in together in June 2022. We had been planning our two year anniversary trip to Bay Harbor in mid-October to get one last round of golf in, and decided on one last weekend up to East Tawas a few weeks prior. After a day of relaxing and Katie watching EXCESSIVE amounts of golf videos trying to correct her swing, Jay was patiently waiting (and hoping she'd be done before the Michigan game) to get down on one knee and ask her to marry him. After coming back from a brief blackout, it was the easiest "yes" ever!
