Our Wedding

Our love story started while Mike was stationed in Virginia with the Navy, and Alicia was working as a travel nurse in DC. It was a true meeting of fate when we sat next to each other at that island barge bar. We shared so may fun memories together after that, and two years later Mike proposed on top of a mountain in Acadia National Park in Maine. On September 20, 2020 we could not wait any longer so we eloped. Since our marriage we have moved across the country with our two dogs Bella and Samson, to San Diego, CA, where Mike is currently stationed on the USS Stockdale. We bought our first house together and have started planning to grow our family. Mike has left for his 8 month deployment and we are excited to be finally planning our wedding for next May after he returns. We can not wait for this chance to celebrate with all of our family and friends. With Love, Mike and Alicia
