Thank you family and friends for all of the love and support! -Mr. and Mrs. Michael and Angela Czechowski!
A Caribbean Boy Found His Midwestern Girl!
Michael was born April 20th, 1976 and raised in Caguas, Puerto Rico. He moved to the West Coast for college, worked many years as an Aerospace Engineer in California, and later became an entrepreneur and investor. He is interested in health and nutrition and enjoys cooking, kayaking, biking, and basketball. He is extremely handy and can engineer just about anything including jet engines, cars and all things home improvement related! He has an affinity for sports cars in particular and speaks English and Spanish fluently!
Angela was born August 14, 1984 and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio. She lived in Indiana as an NFL Cheerleader and pageant girl, and later for her career as a registered nurse specializing in the Medical Device Industry. Angela excels at DIY projects and loves planning events, having hosted a series of them including cheerleading competitions, pageants and physician dinners frequently for work. She enjoys cuddling with her dogs, exploring new places and candle making! Some of her favorite things include animals, dancing, live music and all things girly!
So how did they end up in Florida? Angela felt the need for a life change outside of Indiana and something deep inside was guiding her to sunny Florida. She accepted a career advancement opportunity and made the big move! Michael had a very serious heart condition resulting in open heart surgery. This life changing event led him to move from California to Florida to be close to his family. Those closest to Angela and Michael know that each have been through challenging times in their lives, but they both came out stronger! Angela and Michael strongly feel that God had a plan for them during their struggles, and when the time was right, brought them together in Florida! The stars aligned, it was fate, God's plan, however you put it, they believe it was meant to be!
It was love at first swipe, love at first sight, or as Angela likes to say, love at first smile! Their first time meeting at the Tampa Riverwalk, Angela was drawn to Michael "like a magnet" and Michael knew he found something special in Angela. They began seriously dating and Michael made his intentions very clear from the beginning. After many trips back and forth, dates, love notes, love confessions, gifts, and facetime video chats, they decided to move to the same city. Over Christmas in Cincinnati, Michael asked Angela's parents for their approval to propose, they said yes, of course, and here we are today!
