Our Wedding

***PSA: I let Mike take the reins on "our story," sorry y'all LOL! Quick aside into Mike's thoughts, here we go... Where do we even begin... oh yeah! It was 13, THIRTEEN years ago when I saw this beautiful young lady at the front of the church eating Jesus bread and sipping on that Bob Marley's red wine. I said to the boys, "hot ham, who is that girl with dem blue jeans?!" Looking at dem blue jeans, I knew, this was going to be like one of those Nicholas Sparks movies, BUT with a happy ending of course! Although our paths crossed early in our lives, we remained friends for several years. It wasn't until one awakening morning on May 27, 2010 when I grew a pair and asked her to be my galfriend. To my surprise, she said yes and thus, the love story of mike and jenn began. From high school sweethearts to graduating from UGA together, I can't think of a better partner in crime. Reminiscing now in 2020 from too thin to double-chin, asking her out was definitely the best decision I have ever made cause lord knows I'll probably be a bum without her. She's the straw to my berry and the cream to my pie. I can't even imagine this world without her. She is my best friend, lover, and friend. It wasn't until Jesus Christ, the lord almighty, came down one morning on our 10th anniversary and whispered into my ear, "you better seal the deal and ask Jenn to marry you or else she's going to leave you for a doctor or some thug" that I knew I had to act fast cause a girl can only wait so long! I rented a boat to celebrate our anniversary. Two things could happen, I propose to her and she says yes OR I propose and she says no, I dropkick her overboard with my crocs (I'll give her a lifejacket of course) and ride home alone with sadness in my heart. Luckily for HER, she said YES! I was so nervous I proposed to her with my crocs on. Easily the best day ever! I am marrying the love of my life on September 18, 2021 and I can't wait to see what the future holds! We are excited and blessed to share this memorable experience with you all.
