We met by coincidence when Anna was neighbors with Mitchell's parents. Anna was good friends with Mitchell's mother before meeting but there was immediate chemistry.
Although we were both were dating other people when we first met, we got the timing right sharing our first kiss the day after Thanksgiving while wandering the streets of small-town Hiawatha barefoot in the rain.
We went on a date to the restaurant we had our first solo date together but took a number of surprising detours on the way home.
Mitchell retraced the steps of our first kiss, first dance, and where we started our lives together with lit candles and bouquets of roses at each location.
Finally, we arrived at our home to a final bouquets of roses and a handmade scrap book of letters & notes from Anna that Mitchell had saved since the beginning of their relationship.
Mitchell got down on one knee and proposed to Anna with the ring they found together while wandering the streets of Paris.
Semi-formal wedding ceremony on our land affectionately but temporarily called "The Compound". We want to welcome you and this next stage of our lives to be celebrated on the land we plan to build our home & future.
