Our Wedding

Court and Michael first met at mutual best friends birthday party in December of 2020. They started chatting and instantly hit it off, Court invited Michael to a Dolphins football game the following weekend but, Michael said he would only go if he took her on a date first. They went to the Taco Shack in Hollywood Beach and spent the entire night talking!

First Time We Met

Michael went to visit Court while she was still in college at WVU. He got stuck at the Pittsburgh airport hotel the first night because he went to visit in February and a blizzard hit so hard Courtney couldn't get on the road to come get him. Thankfully the next morning a close friend picked Court up in a pickup truck and they drove an hour+ to get Michael and bring him to the wild and wonderful, West Virginia.
