Although Johnny and Holly were out celebrating their sixth year together, she had no idea how much her life would change that night. Their engagement is the perfect mix of funny and romantic.

Nick & Victoria’s Milwaukee engagement

Victoria and Nick will most likely forever love fall. For starters, Halloween is Victoria’s favorite holiday, which is exactly why Nick proposed on a crisp fall day as the couple was selecting pumpkins for their annual costume party. Plus, the two said “I do” to one another on October 4, 2013 – another perfect, fall […]

Sarah & Ryan’s Milwaukee engagement

When Ryan took Sarah to Turner Hall, she had no idea her life was about to change. After all, Ryan is a restoration contractor and when he said he had to check on some interior damage in the space due to the summer rains, Sarah expected nothing out of the ordinary. So when she walked inside to see rose petals scattered on the floor and turned around to see Ryan on one knee, her heart melted as she said "yes."

Megan & Matt’s Milwaukee engagement

Give a girl a ring and they're happy. Give a girl a ring, tied around her adorable dog's neck and she's ecstatic. That's exactly what happened when Megan came home from work to find a ring box tied around the neck of her dog, Jax, and her now-husband, Matt, dressed to a tee.

Cassey & Josh’s Milwaukee loft engagement

Perhaps it was the fact that Cassey and Josh enjoy similar activities, or perhaps it's because the two of them kept coming back to the same bar; either way, one thing is for certain, it's that very word "perhaps" that brought the two together.

Chelsea & Aaron’s Milwaukee engagement

While they both attended UW-Madison, and many of the same science classes, Chelsea and Aaron first met through mutual friends much later in their careers. The couple now jokes, "we wouldn't have been ready for each other" prior to meeting, proving timing truly is everything.

Allow me to introduce myself. That’s me, in the photos, along with my wonderful fiance, Alex. And it’s with great joy that I’m able to announce that I’m the newest contributor for Wed in Milwaukee.

Etiquette debacle: announcing an engagement

A few days ago, I heard about a mom who’d just announced her daughter and future son-in-law’s very recent engagement in her Christmas letter. Even the happy couple hadn’t yet shared their good news, beyond their immediate families and closest friends. I have to admit, I was fairly upset on their behalf.

Tonya & Josh’s South Milwaukee engagement

Sometimes, it’s hard for a guy not to pop the question as soon as the ring is his. Not so for Josh, who was able to wait almost an entire vacation. He and Tonya were touring Portland and Seattle, spending lots of time outside—something they both love to do.

Kristina & Brandon’s Johnson Creek engagement

One night, seven and a half years after she started dating Brandon, Kristina came home after a long day, thinking he’d have dinner ready for them. He directed her to the fridge, and when Kristina opened it, she saw a sign asking her to marry him. An arrow pointed to the ring box nearby.

Elizabeth & Daniel’s Milwaukee engagement

Friends since birth, Elizabeth and Daniel’s paths have been crossing for many years, and tomorrow (July 21, 2012), they’ll come together for good. “Our families grew up together, but as time passed we went our separate ways,” says Elizabeth. “We reunited at the Lake Beulah Boat Tie-Up [in East Troy].” Both the to-be-weds are triathletes, […]

Lauren & Nick’s Wauwatosa engagement

When Lauren’s friends convinced her to stop at a Marquette University ROTC party one Saturday night, she never expected what was about to happen.
