Michael and Hailey ended up meeting on the dating app Bumble. Shout out to modern technology for bringing them together!
In Hailey's love for The Lion King, Michael proposed using her favorite quote from the movie; "Hakuna Matata, it means no worries for the rest of your days." He was able to pull off the ultimate surprise with hand painted canvases that were each Lion King themed. The canvases were wrapped and placed in a scavenger hunt throughout Hailey's family home. It was convenient that it was the day before her birthday so she assumed it was all for that. The last canvas said “if you say yes” and that is when Hailey realized that Michael was proposing to her. Michael came around the corner and she immediately started crying. Michael got down on one knee and asked Hailey to marry him. Through excited and happy tears, Hailey said YES! Next thing they knew both families were coming out of nowhere to congratulate them. It was all such a surprise and a joyful moment in their lives.
