Our Story
How We Met
Nolan and Breezy both attended Eaton Rapids Public Schools. Nolan moved from Holt Public Schools in middle school and Breezy had attended these schools her whole life. Nolan was on the football team, tennis team, golf team, and the basketball team. Breezy was a tennis player, cheerleader, and photographer. How these two officially met is unclear. Was it in middle school at a track event sitting next to each other? Or was it when one of Breezy's friends dragged her into a classroom before class started to meet Nolan? Regardless, they began dating their freshman year in high school and have been together ever since. They've grown together and they've experienced life together. It's so rare these days to form a connection, like Nolan and Breezy share, in high school and have it last outside of high school. This couple understood what it would take for their relationship to continue to thrive outside of high school. They work together to continue to support and love one another all these years later and many more to come.
The Proposal
Back in December of 2023, Nolan, Breezy, and Nolan's sister Kylee all planned to head down to Tennessee to watch the Memphis Grizzly's and 76ers basketball game. Breezy blissfully unaware of the secondary reason we're traveling down there. Leading up to the weekend Nolan mustered up his courage to ask Mr. and Mrs. Marcus for Breezy's hand in marriage, which to no one's surprise, they granted him their blessing. Nolan continues to set up the proposal with the help of Breezy's Aunt who lives in Nashville. The night before the proposal her Aunt kept commenting that in the morning she has to go help her friend with some stray cats. Believable enough as she is persistent that she helps her friend all the time. So her aunt leaves to "help her friend" but in reality she was on her way to a park near her house to set up the proposal site. Once it's all set up we decide to take a morning stroll to the park with her Aunt's dogs. Nolan's excited but nervous state vibrated off of him as we got closer to the destination. As we neared closer, Nolan lead Breezy to the spot and drops to one knee to ask the love of his life to marry him (Spoiler alert she said yes!!!!). After a debrief and walk back, they finally head off to breakfast at no other than a southern breakfast staple, the local Waffle House for a celebratory breakfast and then off to Centennial Park and downtown Nashville before they drive off to Memphis. It was an exciting and beautiful day for such a special occasion.
