Tell us how you first met? Who, what, when, where, why? Give us the dirty details.

Jennifer - “Mike and I are high school sweethearts. We met after Mike's Freshman year and my Sophomore year through FFA. Our first date was a canoe trip with his whole family and watching the movie Hall Pass. Yes, I know, great start to our relationship. We did the whole high school dating in a small town thing and then went to ISU. We stayed together and our relationship continued to grow stronger.”

When did you know he/she was the one? Was there something he/she did?, etc.

Mike- " Well, after 6 years I haven't found a reason to get rid of you and you like cows."

Jenny- “He always makes me laugh!”

Tell us about the proposal. (Did you see it coming, how long was it in the planning?, how did you feel? nervous, excited, freaking out?)

Jennifer - “Mike had asked my parents prior to asking me. My mom was all excited, but my dad told him (jokingly) that he would make more money on EBAY as a way to try to calm Mike down. The next evening we were sitting watching tv on December 21st and he said you can have your Christmas present if you can find it. Mike doesn't like to wrap presents so he hides them. I didn't know what/where to start. He finally started to give me clues. In the end he had hid the ring on the tree and it only took 15 minutes to find it. We told immediate family right away but waited til Christmas to see how long it would take the rest of the family to notice.”

Besides getting married - whats the one thing you are looking forward to on your wedding day?

“We both are most excited to dance and celebrate with everyone!”
