Proposal at Michigan Central Station

Thursday, January 9th, 2025

Earlier this winter, Max contacted us with heartfelt excitement about his plans to propose to his girlfriend, Alexis. He envisioned a romantic moment set against the backdrop of downtown Detroit, and he was open to exploring various options to make this moment unforgettable. To help him narrow down the perfect spot, he teamed up with Brian, and together, they began scouting some of the city’s most iconic landmarks. After some deliberation, Max decided a proposal at Michigan Central Station was the ideal location to start this new chapter of his life with Alexis.

On the day of the proposal, Brian and I braved the chilly winter temperatures, bundled up as we anxiously awaited the arrival of the special couple. Our breaths visibly puffed in the crisp air as we stood in anticipation, scanning the surroundings for Max and Alexis. Finally, we spotted them walking hand-in-hand toward us, their faces glowing warmly despite the cold. Brian and I instinctively took our places strategically as they approached, prepared for the big moment.

Max dropped to one knee in front of Alexis with a mix of nerves and excitement. In that magical moment, as he opened the ring box, Alexis’s eyes widened in surprise and joy, and with tears coming down her face, she quickly nodded and exclaimed, “Yes!” Laughter and smiles erupted between them as they embraced, the weight of their love measurable in that joyful moment. The proposal at Michigan Central Station was everything Max had hoped for and more. It encompassed the right elements—love, surprise, and the promise of a beautiful future together—and it became an unforgettable occasion that neither of them will ever forget.

We said our goodbyes after the couple’s proposal and engagement photos, but we weren’t actually leaving them. Instead, we rushed to Alexis’s sister’s house, where she was hosting a surprise engagement party. Max and Alexis’s family were already there, waiting for the couple’s arrival. The scene was full of excitement, complete with party poppers, food, champagne, and gifts to celebrate the special occasion!
