How did we meet? We both love concerts and love The Magic Bag in Ferndale. Our story goes full circle with The Magic Bag. It all began in January 2020 at a Class of 98 (90s tribute band) concert at the Magic Bag. We had both been there many times before and we never ran into each other. We never imagined meeting someone there, let alone, our future soulmate. Shelley saw Christian across the dance floor and was immediately mesmerized by his dapper looks and epic dance moves. Although, so was her best friend Jordan. They jokingly fought over who was going to date Christian. Let’s just say, we all know who won that fight. The night progressed and they parted their own ways. Never in a million years did they think that the stars would ever align for them. A few weeks later, Christian and Shelley saw each other again at their friends, Lexi and Evan’s engagement party. At that moment, the stars did align! They exchanged numbers, went on a date and have been inseparable ever since! Our engagement It was the day before Shelley’s birthday. Christian’s family was going to take her out for her birthday dinner celebration in Grosse Pointe, at least that’s what she thought. While Shelley was getting ready to go out to dinner, Christian called her and asked her to come outside to help with their furbaby, Sparkle. When Shelley opened the front door, there were pink rose petals covering the front porch and leading down the sidewalk to the street where Christian and Sparkle stood. Christian got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. She screamed “yes!” before he could even finish proposing. Christian grabbed the ring off of Sparkle’s collar (how adorable!!!) and placed it on Shelley’s finger. Shelley’s brother, Nick had been filming the entire time. To add to all of excitement and make the night even more special, Christian had Shelley’s family as well as his family meet them for dinner in a private room at Ocean Prime. This is where they had their first date. The next day was Shelley’s birthday and they celebrated the engagement as well as her birthday at the place where it all began, The Magic Bag with about 100 of their closest family and friends. It was truly a magical moment!
