We both decided to give OK Cupid a try and found we were a 98% match. Brian messaged Ally after reading her profile and loving the bucket list. Ally messaged back after reading his thoughtful message and laughing at his MAGfest and anime eye profile pictures. When they met at a TGIFridays the conversation flowed and they found more in each other then they hoped for.
While some of Ally's family was visiting, Brian had been hatching a plan in advance. He had been in contact with Mary Lynn, Ally's mom, to get the ring her father used to propose, to Michigan. He had also planned on renting a pontoon boat. He said it was to take the family out on lake Michigan, and Ally for the 1st time, as a fun activity for a day. Days before the trip and before Brian had the chance to talk to Steve, Ally's dad, about their hand. Steve made a remark on a drive, to the whole car, "Oh look Brian, a Jared's!" Luckily it did not tip Ally off. So on a beautiful sunny day, on lake Michigan, in front of a light house, they got engaged with her Mother's ring!💜
