All it took was one message about popcorn and the rest is history. We talked non-stop for the first month before finally meeting in person... which we were both nervous to do. We (both) made sure to have our friends on stand-by in-case we needed a quick "out". Low and behold, neither of us needed it. Our first and second dates lasted hours. Both dates were hours of non-stop talking and laughing and realizing how similar we both were. The connection was instant, and from there, we couldn't get enough of each other.

Over our time together we have learned so much about one another, taking in all of the similarities and differences between us. For some examples- we both love movies and spending time on the couch together in comfy clothes and indulging in our snacks. However, Mike has an unhealthy obsession with the Packers and all things football related... while I have an unhealthy obsession with scary movies and all things horror related. We also both love traveling and experiencing new places. However, Mike is more the adventurous type when it comes to trying new foods and enjoying various water activities such as diving, swimming, and jet-skiing... while I have a hard time eating foods that are outside of the children's menu and have a very illogical fear of sharks, alligators, and anything else that can eat me in any and all bodies of water.

Over the past 3+ years, we have managed to create so many lasting memories- from traveling to various places around the world, to getting our puppy, Ruby, and most importantly, together we have grown so much as individuals and as a couple. We could not be more excited to share our special day with all of those who have been there from the very beginning and watched as we entered the "talking stage"- began officially dating- became engaged- and now entering a marriage as husband and wife.

Here's to the start of the rest of our lives together...
