About The Bride
Maggie, 24, was born and raised in Wheaton, IL. She attended Hope College in Holland, MI and graduated with a degree in English with a Creative Writing emphasis. She is currently living with her parents and working as an office assistant at Harvest Books. Maggie is most at home with a cup of tea and a good book in her hands and a cat on her lap.
What she most appreciates about Keith is his quiet and thoughtful nature, his devotion to his values, and his love of family and the Lord. She knows that he will make an amazing husband and father one day and cannot wait to start their life together.
Timeline
Maggie sent Keith an email on Christian Mingle after seeing that he was from Holland, MI and had a ragdoll cat named Apple. They then chatted daily for the next two weeks about their mutual love of cats and binge-watching TV shows.
On her 24th birthday, Maggie met Keith in person in the Lemonjello’s parking lot in downtown Holland, MI. It was Tulip Time and Keith circled the block twice trying to find a parking spot but couldn't, so they met in the parking lot by the dumpster. It all felt very sketchy. They went to Holland State Park and sat and talked on the pier and then to Captain Sundae for ice cream.
Maggie told Keith she wanted to be his girlfriend, to which Keith responded "Ok”. Keith and Maggie then shared their first kiss in front of Egg Harbor on Hale Street in Wheaton, IL.
The couple maintained a long distance relationship with almost weekly trips back and forth between Michigan and Illinois.
Keith took a new job and moved to Wheaton, IL to be closer to Maggie.
Keith proposed to Maggie on the pier at Holland State Park, kneeling down on the spot where they had nervously sat next to each other for the first time just over seven months before.
