Tracy and Michael met on March 8th, 2020. It was a set up by Angela and Ray Lyon. The first date was hiking followed by dinner at Angela and Ray's house. The second date was dinner at Taproot Cider House. Then covid-19 took over. There were a lot of walking and hiking dates.

Michael probably would have proposed sooner, but 2021 happened. He proposed on October 8th, 2022. The location is Tracy's favorite lighthouse: Point Betsie. He arranged for a tour of the lighthouse and popped the question in the top of the lighthouse. Tracy was definitely surprised and forgot to say "yes".
