Our story began 8 years ago where many modern romances do—at work. Little did we know that what started as casual conversations between colleagues would eventually grow into something much more meaningful. Over time, we realized how much we enjoyed each other's company, and soon after, we found ourselves on our very first trip together to Traverse City. It was during that trip that we discovered Bowers Harbor, a charming winery that quickly became a special spot for us.

Fast forward to July 3, 2023, back at our favorite winery, Dominick got down on one knee and asked Patty the easiest question she’s ever had to answer. It couldn’t have been more perfect—surrounded by the beauty of Traverse City and the memories of our first adventure together.

We’re so excited to begin this next chapter, and we can’t wait to celebrate with all of you!
