Rainy Proposal at Detroit Institute of Arts

On May 4th, under a soft spring rain, Dami asked Michella the most important question of their lives — and she said yes! A very memorable and rainy proposal at the Detroit Institute of Arts.

The couple, who have been together for six years, share a love for art, culture, and trips from their home in Ann Arbor. But one place has always held a special place in their hearts: the Detroit Institute of Arts. Dami knew when he would propose; it had to be there. Despite a dreary weather forecast, they didn’t cancel their plans to spend the day in Detroit. Armed with coats and an umbrella, they strolled up to the main entrance, Michella unaware of what was about to unfold.

Then, just outside the Detroit Institute of Arts, surrounded by towering trees and glistening sidewalks, Dami got down on one knee. The moment was perfect — the rain falling gently, Michella shielding them both with a patterned umbrella, and Dami, kneeling with a hopeful smile. It was intimate and authentic, made more beautiful by the drizzle and overcast sky that seemed to wrap the couple in their own quiet world.

“We’ve always loved the DIA,” Michella said. It is a place they will never forget and will return to for years to come. Their story is a reminder that even rain can’t dampen love — and sometimes, it makes the moment even more magical.

Congratulations, Dami and Michella, on this incredible milestone! Your love story has entered a beautiful new chapter, celebrated in one of Detroit’s most cherished locations. This unforgettable proposal, with its memorable rainy backdrop at the Detroit Institute of Arts, will always hold a special place in our hearts!
