Our Wedding

In May of 2021, Anna told her dad as they watched Marvel’s Thor, “dad, I’m going to marry Thor some day.” On Thursday, August 19, 2021, Anna was deadlifting after work at the fitness center. Mike was on the turf behind her doing barbell military press. She was resting between sets and he decided to come over and introduce himself. “Hey, I don’t think we’ve met, I’m friends with the other trainers here and I just thought I’d introduce myself, I’m Mike.” Anna, knowing exactly who he was because she’d seen him at the gym over the couple months she’d worked there so far, played it cool and pretended she had no idea who he was. “Oh nice to meet you, I’m Anna! Yeah I started here in May and I think I’ve seen you around.” Meanwhile in her head all she could think was “this guy looks like Thor.” That day she went home and told her dad she met him, she met Thor. A week later they went on their first date: a fun run followed by a steak dinner at Juniper Cabin in Wilmington. Little did they know two years later Mike would be proposing on one knee in the very same place. The best part is this story is just beginning.

Our Paths Crossed Perfectly

Our Story

Photos

The eldest brother of the Nyman clan, currently living in Denver, CO with his wife Emily and two kitties, Vladimir and Sabrina. Movies, hikes and kitty snuggles make up the most of his time. He's an engineer or something so whenever he gets to leave the computer screen it's a thrill!

Elizabeth is the bride's big-little-sister. She is a PA in a local ER as well as an EMT on the local ambulance squad. When she isn't saving people's lives, she's doing something athletic and astonishing, like an Ironman, or an impressive traverse.

Loyo was adopted by Anna B.A.M. (before Anna & Mike) on December 31, 2020. He already had a heart and energy bigger than life, but since he met Mike in August of 2019 he only became jollier. He is the love of Anna & Mike’s life, and it wouldn’t be right if he didn’t have the best seat in the house on the big day (just like he does at home on the daily). He can’t wait for his name to change to match his mama & dadda’s. Becoming a Nyman is a dream come true.

Liv was Anna's roommate from summer 2021 until winter 2023. They were total strangers when a mutual friend connected them as two 20 somethings trying to afford housing in Lake Placid. Strangers turned besties, life wouldn't be right without this duo. Liv is an extremely talented hair stylist and cosmetologist and will be helping the bridal party show up presentable on the big day.

For all the Instagram haters, this one might change your mind. Anna and Halie met over the app in 2020 and started working together as doctor-patient in 2021.
