Annie and Mike's story began long before they realized it was something extraordinary. Both raised in the same hometown, they attended sister high schools, but it wasn't until years later in medical school that their paths truly intertwined.

What began as a friendship rooted in study sessions and endless conversations soon became the foundation for something deeper. Annie admired Mike's intellect, and Mike was drawn to Annie's passion. They quickly became best friends, supporting each other through the rigors of medical training and everyday life.

For a while, friendship was the word they used, even if something more was already in motion. One evening, after a few drinks and an honest conversation, they confessed their feelings. From that moment on, they knew: this was forever.

Their first date took place in 2019 at a sushi restaurant in downtown Detroit. Soon after, they went on a movie date, and the evening ended memorably with Mike getting pulled over on the drive home due to a taillight being out - a moment that left Mike a bit frazzled at the time, but one they now laugh about. His endearing nervousness only deepened Annie's feelings for him.

Together, Annie and Mike graduated from medical school in 2021. After five years of dating, during a hike at the Grand Canyon, Mike proposed in a quiet and beautiful spot.

They recently made the move to Minneapolis for Mike's fellowship training in Retina, while Annie began her first job as an attending family medicine physician. Side by side, they continue to support one another as they build their life together.

Now, Annie and Mike are thrilled for their loved ones to join them in celebrating the next chapter of their story as they become husband and wife this coming March.
