Brad & I met at a concert in Wisconsin in the summer of 2006. Since I was already planning to move from Mt. Pleasant, Michigan to a town nearby his hometown (a southwest suburb of Chicago), we kept in touch. Our first date consisted of a river walk, smoothies, and a paddle boat ride on a pond. We were enjoying our time together so much that we did not want our date to end. We then ventured to the Mall and took pictures together in a photo booth. They turned out great and I cherish them greatly! Since Brad & I enjoyed the same kinds of things, I took him up North to Michigan to show him the state that still love so much. We ended up buying a summer home near Silver Lake Sand Dunes and continue to enjoy all four seasons that Michigan has to offer. It's a nice time away from our busy lives as a school teacher and police officer. Then, this past October Brad and I went on one of our "try-to-do-often" date nights. He took me to Navy Pier where he had dinner scheduled at a fine steak and seafood house. As we were walking around looking at the vendors and attractions on Navy Pier, Brad spotted a photo booth. We he asked if I wanted to take pictures, unsuspecting me, I agreed. The moment he asked I shrieked with excitement and now we have the pictures to show it!!! Our wedding and reception is going to be held close to our vacation home, near Lake Michigan and the Silver Lake Sand Dunes, where we enjoy ourselves the most and often invite family and friends to do the same!
