Our Wedding

Wandering and wondering as the years pass by, will I find the love we all see around us and have the ability to grab it for ourselves.&nbsp;This is the thought that ran through the minds of Bobby and Heather. The interesting difference, we did not go to grab it, but we proceeded to punch our way to Love.&nbsp; In 2018, Heather needed a change to get her out of her apartment so she decided exercise was the best option and the healthiest!&nbsp;Title Boxing of Kentwood was so close to Heathers apartment so she decided to purchase a membership. Not long after Heather purchased her Membership, Bobby Signed up too in 2019.&nbsp;Their paths had not crossed yet but they were so close. In 2020, Bobby found a way in to become a part time employee of Title Kentwood that would allow him to become a Coach too.&nbsp;Heather was utilizing another coach for personal training, and this trainer needed assistance which brought a request for Bobby to strap the chest pad on for Heather to practice combos.&nbsp;While this happened, Heather started to see sparks in the air around how handsome Bobby was with his dashing smile, and Bobby was oblivious to the hearts in Heathers eyes. “Yes folks, Heather fell first” while Bobby being the dude he is was oblivious to the growing flirtations.&nbsp;A request to accompany each other to purchase some protein shakes and teas was presented by Heather (Knowing she is asking for a date) and Bobby agreeing (Thinking just two cool people hanging out). The true realization occurred at 9:00 pm one evening when Heather, her cousin Ellie, and Aunt Pam called Bobby to be a designated driver to the Casino because Pam really wanted to gamble and heard so much about this oblivious cute guy.&nbsp;Bobby was convinced to do so with Pam’s bullying and Heather sweetly ensuring that he does not have to but it would be great to get together so he gave in and drove to Heathers house for the first time.&nbsp;After having a great time and winning almost $400 dollars from the Casino, Bobby realized that Heather is a possible crush and realizing what was truly happening.&nbsp;From this night forward, the have shown people that they truly do belong together and are ready to officially announce to the world that they have paired their souls.&nbsp;

Canopy by Hilton Grand Rapids Downtown

Travel

Catch a movie during your down time at our favorite movie theatre in Grand Rapids. Leather reclining chairs and connected to your hotel! Spend time playing in the courtyard outside Studio Park. If you are there on the right day they have live music!

Celebration Cinema Studio Park

One of our most frequented restaurants! I always grab the Berry Salad and bring it into the movies on Friday nights. They have an incredible burger and well known for their meatloaf!

One Twenty Three Tavern

If you plan to stay longer, I'm sure there is an event happening at Van Andel Arena! The Griffen's Hockey and The Rise Volleyball teams play here! Plus, there is always a concert happening.

Van Andel Arena

Another great concert venue just walking distance from the Canopy Hotel!

The Intersection

A Board Game Lounge! This is a hidden gem in Grand Rapids. ANY game you can think of, they have it. Great bar with a great concept! Only 0.3 mile walk from the Canopy Hotel!

House Rules Lounge

Fan of craft beer? You are in Beer City USA. Founders is a great spot to grab an iconic All Day. I'd hold off on the food, they do have room for improvement there.
