Hannah, born and raised in Tennessee, decided to start a new adventure and moved to Encinitas, California around 2021. It was a bold move, as she didn’t know anyone there, but she was excited for what lay ahead.

Mike, a dedicated Marine, had attended the Naval Academy and was stationed at Camp Pendleton, a few miles north of Encinitas. He was enjoying the coastal life while fulfilling his duties. Fate brought them together in the charming streets of Encinitas, where they often found themselves frequenting the same coffee shops, bars, and beaches.

Hannah’s move to Encinitas turned out to be more than a fresh start; it was the beginning of a beautiful relationship with Mike!

In December 2023, Mike knew it was time to take the next step. He proposed to Hannah, and she said yes through tears of happiness atop Lookout Mountain!

As they prepare for their wedding and the life they will share, Mike and Hannah are filled with excitement and anticipation. They are moving to North Carolina, near Camp Lejeune, ready to embrace this new chapter together!
