The first date was on a cold snowy evening, just before Thanksgiving, at the Meeting House in Rochester, MI. From there, a second date followed a few short days later and as they say, the rest is history…..

Connecting over an initial love of National Parks, bourbon, and cooking, it didn’t take long for Michael and Emily to realize they’d found something special. After spending years looking for someone who could be a true partner, they slowly came to see that they had finally found that in each other. And the irony in him being a firefighter and her having the last name Burns, was not lost on them. A perfect match, if you will?
