How we met

It all started back in high school when only one of us was aware of the other...(Michael). While we both played soccer for our school, occasionally we would cross paths. Graduation came and went. Fast forward nearly nine years later after both of us had lived a full life - a simple Instagram DM intertwined our lives back together and the rest is history.

The Proposal

As told by Rachel

What started as a normal family dinner ended in a surprise proposal. Michael, a true romantic and the king of surprises, planned what I could only explain as a fairytale story and the most magical night ever. It all started when Michael's family came into town for a pop-up visit. As we arrived at dinner - I noticed a sign with my my logo...My business had just turned two years old (yay!) and I should have expected that Michael would have something up his sleeve. As I walked into the room, I was greeted by the faces of all my loved ones! I was in shock - complete overwhelm. I was handed a glass of wine (by my soul sister Jessica) and started to try to process how everyone in this room was here for ME! As the night continued on, the wine was flowing and laughter neverending. I was called to give a speech to cap off the most wonderful night, As I pulled Michael up with me as my emotional support 6-foot human - I still had no idea what was about to happen. I said "I am so grateful for you all" and was ready to get back to my wine until Michael started talking...INSTANT TEARS. This man got down on his knee, pulled me close, and sealed the deal. MORE TEARS. What was already a perfect night became the night that we had talked about since month one!
