Our Story

George and Michaela met while they were stationed at Camp Pendleton. Great minds think alike, and both ended up living in the same apartment complex off base just down the hall from each other. It was only a matter of time before they finally met!

George and Michaela met in February 2023

While dating, George and Michaela attended a lot of football games...

...and even more weddings

They skied...

...and laughed

Michaela deployed and came back

And on October 18, 2024, George proposed to Michaela in Laguna Beach, California
