Our Wedding

Once upon a time... A tale as old as time- Michael and Christina met ... online. Christina was tired of the awkward initial exchanges of online dating, so to change things up, she started the conversation by asking: “Do you think a hot dog is a sandwich?” Michael was thrown by her question but intrigued as well. Thank goodness he answered correctly – no, a hot dog is not a sandwich (a sandwich clearly requires two slices of bread). However, this set a precedent for the many fascinating, heartfelt, and sometimes bizarre conversations that would make their relationship uniquely their own. It was clear from the start that there was an invisible string tying them to one another, coming together on their first date at Millburn Diner. After a night of axe throwing (with Christina getting a bullseye), Michael decided this was a good time to make things official. Over the course of three years, their love blossomed. They both had their share of first experiences together – Michael attended his first Seton Hall Pirates game, and Christina went on her first cruise. They traveled to Cape May, Boston, Miami, the Bahamas, Philadelphia, Bermuda, and (of course) Disney World. Christina has also become a slightly more adventurous eater, and Michael has become better at cleaning (is it clear Michael is the one writing this?). They also shared their commitment to each other’s families. They each welcomed the other into their families with open arms, loving them unconditionally. A frequent inside joke between them was about the type of ring Michael would propose to Christina with. His answer: “Any flavor you want!” When Michael decided to propose to Christina, he found the Disney engagement rings at the second store he visited, and the search was over. He picked out the Belle princess ring – Christina's favorite princess – and proposed to her on Christmas Eve at her parent’s house. She opened her Christmas gift from her sister, and quickly realized it was not your ordinary gift when she saw the box full of Ring Pops. Michael got on one knee, popped the question, and Christina said:YES! And so begins the journey of a lifetime... to happily ever after!&nbsp;
