Engagement story:

 On March 12th, Kalen rented out a movie theatre in Royal Oak Michigan for a private movie showing. I was completely in the dark that this movie wasn’t a regular showing. We entered the dark theatre where a short film was playing about our relationship. I was completely shocked and filled with so many emotions. The lights in the theatre came up and I turned to the back of the theatre to find all our family and friends witnessing this moment with us. Kalen got on one knee and asked me to be his forever. 

For the Groom, walk us through the behind the scenes of creating this special day:

I wanted to do something memorable and sentimental. We both love going to the movies and haven’t been since the pandemic. I knew Sydney would love the intimacy and attention to detail of the moment. I personally created a film highlighting memories from our relationship and narrating the story for those in the audience. We definitely felt the love.
