A wedding 10 years in the making...

I was out with girlfriends, Mike was out with guy friends. One of which a longtime friend of mine who introduced us. Ending up spending the evening merging the two groups, I didn't speak to Mike (& he doesn't remember me even being there). It took a couple tries in social situations, a New Year's Eve, birthday party & July 4th cookout, to realize we were interested in each other. Neither of us looking for anything serious initially allowed us to take our time in getting to know each other to see what we wanted the relationship to be. Over the next few years, both adamant that we weren't going to get married, we knew we were each other's future & built a wonderful life together with Jackson & Harper. Until those ideas changed in February of 2021. During the Superbowl Halftime Show, Mike enlisted the help of our closest friends to pull off the ultimate surprise, having my best friend distract me as he got down on one knee. We couldn't have been happier to take this next step together. Through good times & bad we've grown together to created a beautiful blended family. Now all that's needed is to make it official!
