Our Wedding

The two of us first met through our shared high school job at Genesis Banquet Center. Although we did not start dating until many years later, we were very good friends while working at Genesis together. Throughout college, we were gym partners and would work out together almost every day. We finally started dating in 2022 and have been inseparable ever since. In March of 2025, we were visiting Antonio's hometown in Mexico when he asked Micaela to marry him on a boat in Lago De Camecuaro. She said yes!
