One evening, Dakota was playing a basketball game at the Neillsville field house. I saw him on the court from the student section and grabbed a program so I could find his name. I found him on social media, and we started to talk back and forth for a couple weeks. We finally met up, in the McDonalds parking lot in Osseo! After our first date, we knew there was something special between us.

Our friend, Elizabeth reached out to me asking if I wanted a couple photoshoot with Dakota. I definitely wanted to have some nice photos of us since it had been a while. Little did I know, it was all part of his plan! We took pictures for awhile down by the river, then we went to a spot by the bluffs to take more. The sun was setting perfectly, the wind had died down, the music was playing our song. Elizabeth had me turn the other way as she was posing us, little did I know Dakota was dropping down on one knee…
