Our Wedding

It was a warm day in May of 2017, Amy and I were excited as we were getting set to embark on a new journey through Physician Assistant school. We were ready for the rigors of the program but had no romantic intentions for each other yet. On our first day of school I did attempt to talk to her as I thought she was too pretty to pass up the chance, but unfortunately she had intense focus on meeting her roommate and trying to gain wisdom from fellow classmates who were a year ahead of us. So for quite some time all we had were those few words and some embarrassing stares.&nbsp; As we eased into the second semester of our program the stares continued as did the attempted conversations, sadly into more embarrassing words. An attraction was clearly there but neither of us had the charming style to push into more conversation, so we shared these small moments. One story our families both enjoy goes as followed; Amy and I were walking down a hallway towards each other, I was preparing my cool one-liner only to be stopped by her holding up Twizzlers stating “this is my lunch”. Unsure of what to say myself I could only muster the words of the elegant Bizagwira Marc with a solid, “Okay” (google the video for dramatic effect). Regrettably, I decided to try and complement Amy’s new hair one day, knowing I liked the way it looked but unsure of what to say. I walked up to her and asked “did you dye your hair gray?” Obviously I learned to no longer wing these compliments, but ill-fated for Amy it still comes across as if I do. Fast forward to our last semester of didactic year and we finally had the chance. We were randomly placed in a group together where we met at a bar to help ease some new students into the program. Instead of helping to calm their nerves, Amy and I decided we would take the opportunity to get to know one another, which led to a couple dates and then a month later a relationship.&nbsp; Our dating has endured long distances between states as well as continents until 2020 when we both acquired jobs on the west side of Michigan. Then on October 9th 2021, Amy and I took one of our typical walk down the Grand Haven beach overlooking Lake Michigan at sunset. To Amy’s surprise I got down on one knee and asked her the easiest question I could, to marry me. Thankfully she said yes! -Logan
