William and Megan’s story began in the most modern of ways—online. Will had just moved to Chicago, and Megan was looking for her “Prince Charming.” After connecting on a dating app, they exchanged messages, had long phone calls, and before long, they were planning their first date.

When Will arrived to pick Megan up at her apartment, he playfully told her he was driving a Lamborghini. Megan, skeptical given the snowy, slushy Chicago weather, immediately questioned it. Will, thinking Megan was so impressed, couldn’t wait for her to walk outside and see him in his "fancy ride."

Much to her surprise, Megan walked out and saw Will standing beside his Volvo. She was even more impressed. The evening turned out to be perfect. Their first date was filled with laughter, deep conversation, and an instant connection. It was one of those rare nights when time seemed to stand still, and by the end of the evening, both Will and Megan knew they had found something special.

Some of their most cherished memories together include visits to the Lincoln Park Zoo, where Megan once joked that Will could propose to her anywhere—and she’d say yes.

It wasn’t long before Will and Megan both realized they didn’t want to be with anyone else. They knew they wanted to spend their lives together.

So, in February, Will decided it was time to make it official. Megan got the surprise of a lifetime when Will proposed at one of their favorite places in Chicago, the Ritz-Carlton. In a setting that held so many special memories for them, Will got down on one knee and asked Megan to be his forever. With tears in her eyes, Megan said yes, and they celebrated the moment with the world’s greatest root beer floats—a sweet, simple treat that felt just right.

But the magic of that engagement weekend didn’t end there. On their drive back home to New Jersey, Will and Megan made a pitstop in Ohio to pick up the newest member of their growing family. Their dog, Pippi, was about to get a new dog brother—Liam! Their family of four was now officially complete, and the joy of welcoming Liam into their lives made the engagement even more special.

Now, as Will and Megan prepare for their wedding day, they are filled with excitement and gratitude. They can’t wait to celebrate their love with their closest friends and family in the city where it all began—Chicago. Surrounded by the people they love, they are eager to begin this next chapter of their journey together. The doggies (and their parents) are counting down the days to a celebration filled with love, laughter, and memories in the making.

Will and Megan are thrilled to marry each other, grow their family, and continue writing their story.
