The stars truly had to align for Michael and Maurissa to meet. Both were living in San Francisco at the time and the typical foggy, cloudy San Francisco weather was out to play. Maurissa's class had a BBQ at Golden Gate Park that day and Maurissa was not planning on going, but last minute, with the force of a friend decided to attend. Michael, new to The City had only a few friends, one of which invited him to a BBQ with a friend of his. The two of them hit it off right off the bat! They talked travel, hobbies and anything else you can think of. Since then the two of them have been by each others side, building the life they always desired together while traveling all around the world and enjoying each other as much as they could. They have decided to go on one of life' biggest and best adventures, the adventure of forever together!
