Well it started back in 2008 when Autumn and Cassandra became instant best friends and Autumn started hanging around so much that she became part of the family… That’s how Autumn and Michael met.

Fast forward to January 2017, Autumn and Cassandra went out for the evening and Michael happened to be around so Cassandra asked him to keep Autumn company while she kept dancing, well that’s where it started…a month from then Mike asked Autumn to be his girlfriend.

Now 7 years later after many ups and downs, Mike finally popped the question and they’re expecting to get married in August 2025.

After a nice family get together at Gilbert Lake for an end of summer BBQ with their niece Hayley before school started back up, Mike and Autumn were last of the family to leave.

If you know this location, you know the workout it is to walk up the steps form the beach to the parking lot. 🤣

Well, while they were walking up the multiple flights of stairs, Autumn was very winded and he asked her to wait a moment, she replied “I’m sorry babe but I have to finish or I won’t and it’s only a couple of more steps 😂” they got to the top and next thing you know, he’s down on one knee (which is how he’d open his fishing bag all of the time) pulls out a box from his bag and he said “Will you put up with my BS for the rest of your life?” 😂🥰💍
