    After Misner made her way up the final ladder and onto the tower top, Wilson called her name to get her attention and then got down on one knee to pop the question. MDOT Photographer Sara Martin tagged along to document the tour and was able to provide photos of the proposal as well.

    Emily Misner and Cord Wilson were at the bridge on Oct. 24, 2018 for a tower tour they won in the #MightyMacWalk17 social media contest offered by the Mich. Dept. of Transportation (MDOT) and the Mackinac Bridge Authority (MBA).

    After Misner made her way up the final ladder and onto the tower top, Wilson called her name to get her attention and then got down on one knee to pop the question. MDOT Photographer Sara Martin tagged along to document the tour and was able to provide photos of the proposal as well.
    Misner and Wilson, both St. Ignace natives, have been together for a little more than four years. She has a daughter (who just turned 11 today, and apparently was in on the surprise) and works at Belonga Plumbing and Heating, and he runs towing and is a technician at George’s Body Shop
    The MBA holds a Tower Tour drawing once per year each August, and randomly chooses 25 nonprofit organizations to receive a tower tour certificate to be raffled or auctioned for charitable purposes. The certificates can be used between May 1 and Oct. 15 the following year and are good for two people.
