Six and a half years summed up in six words.

Two 18-year-olds walk into an Intro to Accounting class in 2013. Drew knew Michaella as "the girl with the beanie", and she knew him as "out of her league." Seeing each other around campus and at the occasional party got them through freshman and sophomore year, but their paths formally crossed again on the same study abroad program their junior year of college.

The two of them bonded over their love for pop and punk music, and as Michaella was making a playlist for the ride back to La Crosse for her final semester of college, she kicked off the fateful conversation that brought them together for good.

He (falsely) interpreted this as her asking him on a 'date'. But, he had a hunch that if they met up the weekend they were back in town, they'd end up getting married one day. After lots of bottom shelf liquor and bad bar music, they hit if off and eventually made it to graduation together.

Michaella got her first post-grad job in Madison, Wisconsin while Drew landed in Milwaukee. They continued to date, spending weekends together until Michaella made the permanent move to Drew's one-bedroom loft in Menomonee Falls. Two cats and two apartments later, a new job search led to the possibility of them moving to Colorado. With many changes on the horizon, Drew felt Michaella's last name needed to be one of them. On December 18th, 2021, in front of one of the biggest Christmas trees in Milwaukee's Third Ward, Drew got down on one knee and asked Michaella to spend the rest of her life with him. Shed cried, said 'Yes', and then cried some more.

Six cities and nearly seven years later, the next chapter of their story is set to begin, and they can't wait to have you there for it.
