Our story

One day Anna had went to her cousins highschool baseball game. A boy named Michael really wanted to talk to her. He tried and tried but Anna would not budge. They would talk as friends pretty much all the time. Over a year went by and FINALLY Anna caved BUT as soon as she did Michael would be leaving for the Army pretty soon after that. So of course they kept in touch and would send letters to eachother every single day (Michael didn’t have his phone in basic training.) They had their ups and downs because of the distance but would always make it work. After Michael being in Georgia and then South Korea, he was finally home in the U.S and Anna would go and visit Michael in Texas as much as she could and he would come home to New Jersey to visit her when he had every chance to. Given the opportunity to re-inlist, Michael decided to come home. Thankfully he did! 8 years later of them dating and almost 10 of being great friends they are finally getting married! On December 25, 2020 Michael popped the question with Anna’s family all around surprising her then celebrating with both their families they finally get to celebrate a new chapter in their life with everyone so close to their hearts!

How it happened

12/25/20

Anna has been wanting a bike so badly to ride outside to exercise and ride to work. A few days prior to Christmas Anna's family closed the blinds to the backyard (we always keep open) and told her "DO NOT look outside part of your gift is out there." Right away she automatically thought, "I'm so getting a bike!" Christmas day finally rolls around and Anna was so excited because she knew she was getting the bike she"s been wanting. Her family saw how excited she was and said they wanted to blind fold her. Anna was so confused as to why but went along with it. She walked outside with her blind fold on and almost fell. She took her blindfold off and her family was just all lined up in front of her (not gonna lie she was a little freaked out when they all were just standing there staring at her) they all yelled turn around. She turned around yelled OH MY GOD and Mike was there, with a big sign and a ring! So much better than a bike! He asked Anna and she couldn't even speak really. After she finally said yes and stopped shaking they celebrated a beautiful day (:
