After nearly 8-years together this day became less of a surprise and turned into more eagerness to start the rest of our lives. But, without fail the day was still filled with plenty of nerves and excitement. The cloudy, chilly, and wet December morning was less than perfect, but we set off for our reservation for brunch at Harbor House in downtown Milwaukee, WI. Upon our arrival, we met up with the lovely Jessica Buzinski and Andrew Huss to execute the secret plan... Before sitting down to dive into one of the best all you can eat brunch in Milwaukee we set our path to the lakeshore to snap a few pictures. Once it was Melanie and I's turn for photos, we posed while Jessica and Andrew primed the cameras. That's when time slowed and I dropped to a knee, looking up at the women that I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. But did she? Of course, she did as once we locked eyes, happy-tears filled her eyes and my heart raced. I am not sure exactly what words came next but I know it ended with an excited, yet quite, "Yeah" from the blue-eyed angel I have called my best friend for so long. That was the start of the rest of our lives together, and boy-oh-boy am I excited to share our love with all of you on 9.19.20!
