The Love Story

Mike and Emily had first met when Mike started working as a tech at the same dealership as Emily. In the beginning, Mike wasn't a fan of Emily since she wouldn’t even laugh at his jokes. Understandably so, being pregnant and hormonal, Mike wanted his laugh, and Emily wasn’t giving in to him. Shortly after Emily came back to work, Mike threw another joke out there and finally got his laugh from her. With that laugh came her beautiful smile and “it caught my attention” Mike says. So, of course, the jokes kept coming, and the laughs got louder, and smiles got bigger. One morning, Emily needed a battery test printout sent to her and gave Mike her number to send it to her. She didn’t know it yet, but Mike knew that was his in and immediately saved her number. Mike says he waited about 10 days to add her on Snapchat to not look like a creeper. But once she accepted his request, they began commenting on every one of each others posts. Those comments quickly turned into conversation that continued to grow. One night, they had finally made plans to meet for dinner, and it was love at first tacos. On July 3rd of 2021, just after singing happy birthday to RJ, Emily turned around to find Mike kneeling next to her with a ring in hand. As Mike says, it was the best and easiest decision he ever made. "Let's save the sappy shit for the wedding vows" was Mike's proposal. The following January, Emily and Mike got the biggest surprise ever, and on septemeber 12th 2022, they welcomed handsome baby boy Justin.

Both Emily and Mike have changed careers since their days at the dealership, which they are both now very successful in. This beautiful family has moved out from a condo to a house and are currently saving for their forever home. They both have been looking forward to this day for over 2 years now and cant wait to send it with their closest and dearest loved ones.
