Matt and I have a backwards love story. 4 years of undergraduate college - Friends; both of us were dating other people 1.5 years of graduate school - Roommates; we were both in the same Master's program and needed a place to live! One night while in graduate school... we went out with some friends, had a few cocktails, and I ended up professing my long-felt feelings for him. He reciprocated. We dated for the last six months of graduate school, and moved down to metro Detroit together and started our post-college life together. After 10 months of living together in metro Detroit... Matt and I went up to Frankenmuth, MI for a nice weekend of Christmas shopping and sightseeing. 5 minutes after we arrived, we went down to the river to walk around... Matt dropped to one knee and asked me to marry him. After only 17 months of dating, 1.5 years as roommates, and 4 years as friends...
