In the hustle and bustle of college life at Northeastern State University, Carrigan Bradley and Michael Scott's paths crossed over a shared fishbowl at the Branch in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. What began as chance soon evolved into something extraordinary—a love story rooted in the real and raw experiences of life.

Their relationship grew as they faced the challenges of young adulthood together, moving to the bustling city of Atlanta, Georgia. Three years in Atlanta taught them the importance of reliance and communication, laying a strong foundation for their future.

Life threw its curveballs, as it often does. Two shoulder surgeries for Michael and a heart surgery for Carrigan tested their resilience, but each obstacle only deepened their bond and commitment to one another.

Their journey took them on five moves, including a return to their roots in Oklahoma. It was there, in the heart of downtown Oklahoma City atop the 48th floor of the Devon Tower, that Michael surprised Carrigan with a proposal. Amidst the city lights and the hum of the urban landscape, they made a commitment to forever.

Looking ahead, Carrigan and Michael envision a life filled with love, laughter, and the simple joys of everyday moments. They dream of building a future surrounded by their favorite people and their beloved furry companions, Yankee and Charlie.

Their story is not one of fairytales, but of real love—love that endures through the highs and lows, the challenges and triumphs. Together, they embrace the journey ahead, knowing that with each step, their love grows stronger.

Thank you for being a part of our story. We can't wait to see where the next chapter takes us. - Michael & Carrigan
