Over two years ago, one of Michelle's friends reached out to Joe and asked if he was open to meeting one of her girlfriends. She said she was smart, sweet and adventurous... that she loved the outdoors and had an incredible family. Obviously, Joe was intrigued...

After countless cancellations and missed opportunities, we finally met up at a local restaurant in Laguna Beach called Harleys. We ate clams, drank wine and talked about how we both worked in medical sales. We had such an amazing time that Joe even invited her out to a boys’ night right after at Selanne Steakhouse.

Michelle got to meet two of Joe's friends there, who for some reason decided to wear blazers to dinner... Michelle thought woah these guys are rather fancy, but soon found out it was a complete joke. This was just one example of the fun personalities that both of our groups of friends have and that we've helped intertwine over the last two and a half years.

The next date was Mammoth for a weekend getaway with a group of friends. We explored the natural hot springs and enjoyed the Tamarack Lodge after hitting the slopes for a couple of days.

The rest is history... We thrive off each other’s drive and passion. We love our sense of adventure and continue to push each other to experience new things and see new places. We admire our families and the examples they have set forth.

Joe later had asked Michelle's parents in Polish if he could marry their daughter. Joe then took Michelle to a special place she had been going to since she was only seven months old. This place was a lake she grew up fishing at called Ward Lake in the High Sierra Mountains. He then popped the question and said now this is our special place we can come to together.

Our wedding was on the Southern Coast of Oregon. This beautiful venue, Crook Point gave us the ability to share our love for nature with our family. It was intimate and secluded, but we wished we could have shared it with everyone. So, enjoy these photos and highlights of our special day.... We look forward to having a celebration with everyone soon.
