How it started

Adeline ("Addie") Lancellotta and Michael Flood Jr.'s love story is one of serendipity and family ties. Addie's mom, Susan, has been Michael's dad, Michael Sr.'s assistant at Flood Ford in East Greenwich for over 25 years. Over time, their parents grew close, sharing a bond rooted in family-oriented values and mutual respect. It was only natural that their children’s paths would eventually intertwine in an unexpected and beautiful way.


Though Addie and Michael had known of each other for years, their paths truly crossed for the first time three years ago after a Flood Ford Christmas party. The evening ended with a casual gathering at Richard’s Pub, where Michael and Addie’s paths crossed for the first time. What began as a funny and lighthearted interaction left Addie wondering if this could be the start of something extraordinary. She felt as though the universe had brought her face-to-face with the very person she had been hoping to find.

The following Monday, Michael approached Susan at work to ask for permission to take Addie on a date—a gesture that spoke volumes about his thoughtfulness and respect. From that moment on, their connection flourished.


Over the past three years, Addie and Michael have built a beautiful life together. They share their home with their two beloved Persian cats, filling their space with love, laughter, and carefully curated details. Their adventurous spirits have taken them to new places and experiences, as they embrace being "yes" people who live life to the fullest.

Now, they're excited to take the next step in their journey as husband and wife, surrounded by the family and friends who mean the world to them.
