In the summer of 2013, Amelia, 16 years old, was working as an Assistant Instructor at the Ring of Steel summer camp when Curtis, 17 years old, showed up. After a week of being completely oblivious to his flirting, Amelia found a Joker playing card with a phone number and a note to text me sometime tucked in her purse. Against all her better judgement, Amelia texted the number and a love story that no one expected began. They spent the next couple years in high school going to each others plays, musicals, concerts, formal dances, and graduations. Their love of performing took them all around Michigan, fire breathing and dancing, and even winning illustrious titles like Mr. Pretty Legs. They've been together through multiple degrees, career changes, a global pandemic, and two cross-state moves. In the spring of 2022, Curtis and Amelia moved to Traverse City, MI for Amelia's residency year. They settled into the Cherry Capital of the world, filling their evenings with walks on the beach looking for rocks and beach glass, and their weekend mornings with cartoons. In November of 2023, Curtis and Amelia went on one of their rock walks up Old Mission Point. That night, they found a very special rock on that beach, and it just so happened to be set in an engagement ring. They don't know what the future holds, but they know that they'll be together when it comes.
