Tended lawn’s wedding proposal works for Mich. man

CHIPPEWA TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Extra water, some fertilizer and a lot of patience was all one Michigan lawn service owner needed to convince his lady to say “I do.”

Tommy Dafoe tells the Morning Sun of Mount Pleasant that he spelled out “Will U Marry Me” with fertilizer a few weeks ago in the lawn of the home he shares with girlfriend in Chippewa Township, about 120 miles northwest of Detroit.

The 24-year-old Dafoe watered his words more frequently and the fertilizer helped the grass grow greener. When the grass grew long enough, he used a mower to carefully cut around the letters.

Then on Friday, Dafoe asked 25-year-old Kristi Volz how the lawn looked - and got down on one knee.

Volz said yes, and the couple is planning an August wedding.
