Our Wedding

Throughout their early twenties, John and Michelle were passing ships. In the same place at the same time for several events. The two only physically ran into each other once between classes at Westfield State. As time marched on it took Michelle's sister, Lauren to say "hey he's cute" to John's dating profile. Michelle thought it was bold of him to only have two pictures, one of which his beard was covered in ice from a chilly day on the mountain. And so it began. After breakfast for their first date at Girly's Grille, John was blown away by how cool of a girl Michelle was. So off they went to go snag his stashed kayaks from his friend Brian's house. The two continued their date on the Swift River and were inseparable ever since. Where they finished their first date is eventually where they would get engaged. Over the last 6 years, Michelle and John have had many adventures from skiing all over New England, flying across the country to various National Parks, making memories in both their Ludlow and Ware homes, and collecting beloved pets, (Murphy, Binx, and Boots) along the way. They look forward to further writing their story and celebrating their love this weekend with family and friends!
