We met in high school geometry class but neither of us really paid attention to the other. He was the class clown. I was the over-eager girl sitting in the front row. Fast forward three years, we’re working the obligatory first job at a fast food restaurant. It started with us staying after our shifts ended to talk to each other, spending more time together every day. One night we got together with a mutual friend after work. Things clicked instantly and we both knew this was different. Neither of us had ever been so comfortable around anyone and it would be a solid month and a half before we spent even one day apart. Four years and 500 dinosaur fights later, he proposed. Although it took us a while to get engaged, we both knew this was it from the moment he asked me to be his girlfriend in the summer of ‘09.

Four years to the day after Tommy asked me to be his girl, we were vacationing in a cottage right outside Mackinac Island. It was a beautiful summer afternoon and he asked me to go for a walk. As we came to a clearing, we saw a cute swing set sitting all by itself in the middle of the woods. We walked up to it and as I turned around, Tommy got down on one knee and popped the question. Obviously i said YES! 💍 We can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with all of our favorite people! 🎉 See you in July!
