Hello and welcome to our love story!

Michael and I go way back; to 10th grade at TC Williams High School (now known as Alexandria City High School). We shared a circle of mutual friends, so it was easy for us to form a friendship. Back then, Michael was the guy with the big sense of humor and an even bigger appetite, always showing up for after-school clubs and my birthday celebrations. He was a great friend, but if you’d told me back then that I’d be writing this as his future wife, I would’ve laughed and said, "No way!"

Fast forward to today, and I can say with full confidence that I’m marrying one of the best people I know. The qualities I admired about Michael back then; his respectfulness, thoughtfulness, optimism, and humor; are the same ones I love about him now, only amplified. He adds so much value to my life, helps me be my best self, and loves me in the most effortless, genuine way.

I cherish all the memories we’ve shared together so far and look forward to all the blessings ahead for us. I thank God for blessing me with you, Michael. You are truly my "Migift."

Michael, I can’t wait to continue our love story and officially become your wife. Here’s to more laughter, more love, and, of course, plenty of good food along the way!

Q + A coming soon!
