Since their engagement, Mike and Jackie have truly been living life to the fullest. Their travels to Florida to visit Jackie's parents have become an annual highlight, and they cherish every moment spent there. During the summer months, they love to enjoy the great outdoors—camping, fishing, kayaking, and making lasting memories with friends and family. Mike has been Jackie's biggest supporter as she successfully manages her environmental consulting company, while he's been busy thriving in his role as a senior energy broker.

Mike has also embraced his role as a stepfather to Jackie's son, Dylan. Mike and Dylan share a special connection, and they all can’t imagine their life without each other. Their love for each other, the deep connections with their families, and the way they’ve embraced every part of their journey together only makes their excitement to get married and spend their lives together even more meaningful.
