Pontiac, MI

How We Met

We worked at the same company together for several years - United Wholesale Mortgage. For the first few years, we knew OF each other, but never spoke TO each other. We were on different teams that rarely crossed paths. Lucky for us, one day we were assigned to desks within feet of one another, and later admitted to checking each other out constantly. Little did we know just a few years later we would be so in love and getting married! How we started talking involved a dating app, some amazing mutual friends, and a country concert. We fell for each other so quickly and the rest was history! We cannot wait to marry each other!

The Proposal

Jess and Chuck took a long needed vacation to Las Vegas on June 14, 2021 - the day before their 2-year dating anniversary. Chuck told Jess to let him make plans for the entire first day and night, so Jess got all dressed up and went along for the ride. They had a room booked at the Cosmopolitan, their favorite hotel on the strip, with a beautiful balcony overlooking the Bellagio Fountains. The fountains make Jess cry emotional, happy tears every time she sees them. He planned a few diversions that night (a drink at another hotel, dinner at Hell's Kitchen, etc.). After the diversions, they ended back up in their hotel room shortly before 9pm Vegas time. Jess thought this was just a pit stop before the next activity, until Chuck pointed out that the fountains were about to go off. They went out on the balcony to watch the fountains, then Chuck turned to Jess and asked her what time it was at home in Michigan. It was 12:01am, which meant it was officially their 2-year dating anniversary back home. He continued on with beautiful words, then got down on one knee and asked Jess to marry him. It was such an amazing, private, perfect moment.

Why Pontiac?

When someone thinks of Pontiac, MI the last thing they’re probably thinking is “WOW! What a wonderful wedding destination!” To us, however, Pontiac is a huge part of our story. The company that we met each other at was in, you guessed it, PONTIAC! If you are staying in one of the hotels we recommended, then you most likely will drive right by on the way to the reception! Home to THE largest pedestrian bridge in the COUNTRY and a campus that totals 1.5 million square feet - you can’t miss it! We also moved into our first apartment in Pontiac. After deciding to take the leap and move in together, we settled on a really nice place down the street from UWM. We still look back on those times fondly even though we love our new home in Bay City! Onto the reception venue – The Treasury in Pontiac. Besides it being beautiful on its own, we feel like its location is a perfect fit because of what the city means to us. While embarking on your journey to the reception, just know how proud we are to have you here, and we cannot wait to make more Pontiac memories with all of you!
