It all began during their senior year of high school, when fate (and a silly little app called Tinder) brought Mikael and Hannah together. After swiping right, they matched—and the rest is history. Mikael broke the ice with a pickup line from a Chris Lane song, “I Don’t Know About You,” and promised to take Hannah to all the best summer concerts.

For their first date, they met up at the mall to shop for Christmas presents for Mikael’s niece. After that sweet and simple outing, Mikael—clearly already smitten—asked if Hannah wanted to hang out again that very night to go look at Christmas lights. From that moment on, they were inseparable.

Over the years, they grew up side by side, weathering all of life’s ups and downs together. They spent four years in a long-distance relationship while Hannah was away at school, constantly choosing one another, day after day, despite the doubts of others. In 2022, they added a new member to their little team—Diesel, their energetic and loving pup who’s brought endless joy to their lives.

The long drives back and forth from Springfield to home were always worth it—until 2023, when Hannah graduated and moved back home, finally closing the distance. At the beginning of 2024, they moved into their first home together, a cozy space they’ve filled with love, laughter, and plenty of dog toys.

Then came the big moment. After months of secret planning, Mikael proposed on November 2, 2024. Under the sweet disguise of a family photo session, he got down on one knee and popped the question—with their loved ones and Diesel right there beside them.

Now, 6 years later, they’re counting down the days until “I do,” excited to celebrate their next chapter with the people who have supported them from the very beginning. Surrounded by so much love, they continue to grow together every single day—and can’t wait for forever to begin.
