Our Wedding

Once upon a time a Pete met Lindsey in the kitchen at their work.......It was love at first sight.......not so much!&nbsp;&nbsp;Fast forward&nbsp; three&nbsp;years to July 2014.&nbsp; He&nbsp;had&nbsp;just returned from a vacation to Virginia and&nbsp;she was about to embark on a 2 week long road trip to the East Coast.&nbsp; After two dates she left and we literally spent two weeks getting to know one another over text.&nbsp; A spark had ignited and Pete knew, soon thereafter, that Lindsey was someone he'd searched for and wished for and needed in his life.&nbsp; Lindsey fell head over heels for Pete and knew deep down in her heart that he would be her partner for life.&nbsp;&nbsp;A whirlwind ensued and our romance was undeniable.&nbsp; "They" say when you meet "the one" things just click and boy did they ever!&nbsp; Not 4 months later a little baby was on his way!&nbsp;&nbsp;We've&nbsp;been through some of&nbsp;life's highs and lows together in our short time together but those lessons only strengthen our bond and commitment to each other and our family.&nbsp;&nbsp;Everyone knows the paths we've taken to get to where we are and with those lessons comes the&nbsp;knowledge of who we are separately and who we want to be together.Now we want to share our love with all of our family and friends who've witnessed our story unfold so far.

How we met....

It was thanksgiving weekend 2017, October 8th actually and it started out like any other Sunday of life.&nbsp; We had a family date to Walmart; the kids were crazy as usual; we went about our day like normal.Unbeknownst to me, Pete had bought a ring and had it hidden in his hiding spot in the house or was walking around with it in his pocket for 3 days.&nbsp; We made plans to take a drive up north on our day off together so&nbsp;Pete kept asking me repeatedly if Camdon was going to stay with my parents for the night.&nbsp; I&nbsp;kept saying yes, I already asked them.&nbsp; He must've asked me 5 or 6 times but I&nbsp;didn't think anything of it.&nbsp;&nbsp;He had told 3 people at work, in his excitement, that he was going to propose.&nbsp; He told Camdon, his parents and&nbsp;Jamie, who in turn told Matty and Steve.&nbsp; So that's 9&nbsp;people who knew!&nbsp; We went up to my parents for&nbsp;pre dinner cocktails, caesars actually, our favourite drink.&nbsp; Pete asked my dad&nbsp;if he could marry me&nbsp;and my dad obviously said YES!&nbsp; Hugs and handshakes occurred and one more person was added to the secret.&nbsp;&nbsp;When my mom and I&nbsp;came back with the caesars everyone looked normal and not at all suspicious.&nbsp; We made our way to the shack for dinner and festivities.&nbsp; As Pete and I were about to leave Camdon with my parents for the night my dad called over to my mom and told her that Pete was going to propose.&nbsp; In typical fashion my mom started crying and had to hide from me so that I didn't see her tears.&nbsp; I thought it was odd she didn't say bye but we left anyways.&nbsp; One more person was added to the secret!We got home and changed for a walk on the boardwalk before a night cap.&nbsp; We took our regular route down our street to the boardwalk by the Bushplane museum.&nbsp; Pete pointed out how beautiful the sunset looked and how nice the sun looked reflecting off the old power plant building in Soo MI.&nbsp; I agreed, it did look really pretty.&nbsp; He kept looking behind us, there were people down the path talking but not bothering us at all.&nbsp; He kept looking 4 or 5 times and I&nbsp;asked him "what are you doing? you're acting weird".&nbsp; He turned to me and&nbsp;said to me "you know the water is where I&nbsp;come do decide about things.&nbsp; I&nbsp;don't have to think anymore, I've made a decision"&nbsp; 'You asked me this morning what I am thankful for and I said You, Camdon and Alex"&nbsp; Then he got down on one kneed and said&nbsp;"And I'm thankful for the opportunity to ask you to marry me?"&nbsp; I&nbsp;screamed WHAT?&nbsp; I&nbsp;kept saying REALLY over and over and&nbsp;over again.&nbsp; I immediately started crying and and he pulled out the most beautiful diamond ring I&nbsp;have ever seen and put it on my finger.&nbsp; I&nbsp;eventually said YES of course!&nbsp; I&nbsp;was completely surprised and shocked and most of all happy!&nbsp;&nbsp;It turns out that he brought my phone with him so we shared our best news with our family soon after!&nbsp;&nbsp;The feeling I&nbsp;got when my favorite person in the world promised his heart to me for life is indescribable.&nbsp; I'm honored and humbled to officially&nbsp;be his wife next year.&nbsp;
