Our Wedding

Our story began with a swipe to the right in July 2021. We connected over a shared appreciation of the classic American war comedy drama, M*A*S*H. After exchanging more than a few messages, Mike took his shot. After working overnight shifts, we went out to breakfast. Despite the sleep deprivation, I could see that there was something special about Mike (I like to think he had butterflies too, but if he did he would never admit it). A short two months later, we made it official and haven't looked back. We have had our share of adventures from hiking in the upper peninsula, fishing on Lake Erie, countless days at the track, and a family vacation in Gatlinburg, TN. Fast forward to November 1, 2025, Mike popped the question in the cutest way possible (thanks in part to his sisters for helping to plan the perfect moment). He got down on one knee during our family Christmas photos. And now we can't wait to say "I Do" with all of you!
