A Spring Engagement by Cassie, Palatine- Emily & Shane

Emily and Shane’s love story began in their college dorm at ISU, where they were fortunate enough to end up in the same dorm. Despite Shane being a year older, it was Emily’s determination to get to know him that eventually sparked their romance after six months of playful flirting. Fast forward to January 2016, they officially became a couple and over the past decade, they graduated, moved to Palatine, and welcomed two furry companions, Miley and Daisy, into their lives.

In November, during a cozy Friendsgiving celebration at their home, Shane secretly planned his proposal. Despite being together for 8.5 years, Emily had no idea what was in store for that evening. Shane had designed a beautiful ring and, in a charmingly subtle move, suggested Emily get her nails done the night before—right before the party! After a delicious meal and some clever maneuvering with friends to create the perfect setting, Shane led Emily outside where rose petals adorned the ground. He presented her with a photobook capturing their journey together before getting down on one knee and asking her to marry him, marking the beginning of their next chapter as a couple.
