Abbie and Noah’s story begins in 2018, before they even met. After years of waiting for the perfect someone and never being able to find them, both Abbie and Noah searched for a new way of finding their someone. Noah started a subscription on eHarmony while Abbie tried a few other dating websites. Both went on dates and never seemed to click with anyone. Until, two years later, 2020 hit. This was a rough year for many but to Abbie and Noah, it was the year that they found each other.

Around the end of September Abbie finally decided to give eHarmony a go. She downloaded the two-year subscription and started to get to work on listing her favorite hobbies and what her ideals are in a partner. Just as Abbie’s subscription was starting, Noah only had a few days left of his. In those last couple of days, they found each other, talk about perfect timing. Abbie, intrigued by his air guitar skills, sent an icebreaker game in which they got a perfect match score. After that, Noah popped the question… yes, he actually did. Most women might have blocked him right away, but Abbie, being the helpless romantic she is, found this funny, a unique pickup line for sure! She decided to give him a chance, and as Noah’s subscription ended, they exchanged phone numbers to stay in touch.

October 11th, the day of their first date. They went to the mall to walk around and wound up spending 5 hours just talking and truly enjoying each other’s company. Neither of them wanted the date to end so they quickly scheduled another date. Date after date, from corn mazes to the zoo. They never stopped wanting to see each other. A giddy Abbie indulged her family and friends in every detail about every date. Both sides enjoyed their time together but even after a few weeks of amazing dates, both had hesitations. Noah spoke to his dad about Abbie and told him all about her. Noah’s dad smashed all hesitations Noah had about Abbie with his fatherly advice. Abbie confided in her best friend about her hesitations, and those too were smashed. Both of them decided they were ready to make their relationship official and a few months later were in love.

The next two years consisted of date after date, family game nights, bonfires, movies, camping trips, skiing, disk golf, and sharing in activities they both loved and discovering new ones together. On their two year anniversary, over dinner, Noah told Abbie it was official… she was “in the hot seat.” She could expect a ring any day now….. 250 days later she finally got her ring!

Noah worked hard to plan a beautiful proposal on the shores of Mackinaw. Abbie walked down to a beautiful scenic area where Noah emerged from the distance, carrying her favorite flowers, daisies and sunflowers, and a beautiful wooden box with her ring inside. Years of anticipation built up inside of them and relief finally hit when Noah’s knee bent to the ground and he proclaimed his love to Abbie and asked her to marry him. Naturally, she said yes!

They say to trust the timing of your life, Abbie and Noah are proof. They trusted in God’s timing and their prayers were answered at the perfect time.
