Michael & Shiloh

October 15, 2024 • Lancaster, PA
We met through mutual friends in college but weren't initially interested in each other. After Christmas break, January 2022, Mike asked Shiloh out with a bag of chips saying, "You can have these chips but only if you go out on a date with me." Shiloh's response was "Okay" not knowing if there was going to be a punchline. If you know Mike, you can understand why she thought he was joking.

Just as it seemed happily ever after was around the corner, we were challenged with the reality of having to do long distance. Nothing like an 18 hour drive to make the heart grow fonder.
