Courtney and Mike were high school sweethearts. One of the first afternoons they spent together (before officially dating), they sat in the car talking so much that the car battery died and they had to call Mike's dad to jump start it!
They got engaged at Arnold Arboretum in Boston. Mike wanted to make the proposal a surprise, so they ran errands first, so the trip to the park wasn't so suspicious. Very on brand for them - they happened to have car troubles that day, so an extra errand included a stop at the dealership to get the lights checked out! That only added to Mike's stress of being on time for the proposal (he had someone hiding out to photograph it), and he refused to hold Courtney's hand while walking the park for fear that he would lose the ring in his pocket! Fortunately, she didn't notice - it was a perfect day that ended in a YES!
Courtney and Mike love to travel together and with friends. They enjoy playing board games together, playing sports together and playing video games - they both say they are too competitive for their own good, but that makes it all the more fun. They also enjoy cooking and baking together when they have the time to try out new recipes. Best wishes, Courtney and Mike!
