Michelle and Kirk met on September 1, 2018 to go wine tasting on their first date. They instantly clicked so well that the date lasted 7 hours! From then on, they were inseparable and spent their weekends going on hikes, attending sporting events, and enjoying their favorite brunch spots in Portland.
It was on Christmas Eve - Christmas is Michelle's favorite time of year. They were visiting her family back in North Carolina. Kirk and Michelle were attending the candlelight Christmas Eve service at her family's church when Kirk proposed outside afterward.
