Your Love Stories

Stuff We Love
Dec. 23, 2023

Yes, we know we’re skipping ahead a few holidays, but hear us out: Valentine’s Day. For our 2024 issue, we want to highlight local love stories! Did you meet your partner in northern Michigan? Propose at Sleeping Bear Dunes? Get married at a local winery? Spend 50 years together wandering the forests and beaches? If so, we want to share your romantic tale. Between now and Jan. 12, 2024, send your story to info [at] northernexpress [dot] com with the subject line “Local Love Story.” Submissions must be 150 words or fewer. Keep the content Hallmark-movie appropriate, please, and bonus points if you have a photo to accompany your words! We’ll print as many love stories as we have space for that week. (And if your parents or grandparents have a wonderful tale, we’re happy to include those too!)
