Our Wedding

Meg and Mike met in 2019 at The Pub in Naples, FL. Meg was visiting her parents in Naples after graduating college and Mike was out with friends for what seemed like a normal Friday night.   However, the choice to hit The Pub that night would change both of their lives forever.    Meg returned a few weeks later to visit Mike. She joined him on his boat and met his best friend, Emma (the Ross family's beloved yellow lab).   They began dating long-distance for a year - taking turns going back and forth between Naples and Orlando on the weekends. They bonded over their love for the water and adventure. Many weekends were spent on the boat in Naples or riding rollercoasters at Universal Studios in Orlando.   When the world suddenly plunged into COVID lockdown, Meg moved back to Naples to be closer to her parents and Mike.   They began living together in Naples Park and adopted their first dog together, Honey Bee, after two years of dating.   A year later, Meg and Mike moved into a new home together in Gulf Harbor where they currently live and enjoy taking trips out on the Gulf of Mexico right from their backyard canal.   They continued to build their little family after Mike rescued their cat, Storm, in Hurricane Ian. Not long after, they adopted their second dog together, Finn.   Now, over five years later, Meg and Mike are ready to tie the knot and sail into a future of more love, laughter, and of course, doggies!
