A girl from Midland who moved to Gladwin, and a Boy from Gladwin who dreamed of living in Midland.

Our story started online, when (I) Jess sent the best opening line ever to Brett. It said "Hey, looks like we swapped places". He gives me a hard time about it now but i know he secretly loved my slick way with words that fateful day. Anyway Brett and I started out our journey at the very upscale restaurant of Applebee's... this of course wasn't a real date, just a get to know you get together. Slow and steady right?!? After that date Brett asked me to go play putt putt golf and go to the arcade. Game On! While he beat me in Putt Putt, I smoked him in basketball .... twice! We both left that date beaming, with the agreement to go on another date.

Our third date was ironically a date of firsts! First time to the Detroit Lions Stadium, first time Gladwin HS was in the play offs, first state championship for Gladwin, first time I was ever asked out officially by a boy who wasn't in grade school... and ... the first time Brett ever received the answer "I guess" to the question will you be my girlfriend.

That's right folks! Brett asked me to be his girlfriend and the anxiety stricken me responded with "I GUESS" Lord have mercy!

None the less we have spent the last year experiencing a lot of other firsts together, camping, water parks, concerts, and so much more. Each and every day finding something that we loved about each other just a little more.

Then came the engagement, one year to the day of the will you be my girlfriend question, he asked will you be my wife. This time I am proud to say my answer was a much more confident YES!

As one of our favorite country artists Brad Paisley once said "It's the little imperfections It's a sudden change in plans When we misread the directions

And we're lost but holding hands

Yeah, I live for little moments like that."

Our world has been filled with little moments, but its those very moments that have shaped us into the beautiful and loving couple we are.

We cant wait to celebrate with you as we celebrate one of life's biggest moments while reflecting on all the little moments that got us here!
