As with all the greatest love stories, we met on the dance floor. Although the original intent of our meeting was to benefit our friends. We quickly connected and even with Michelle’s stubbornness Tim continued his pursuit.

Our first date was filled with bonding over chicken wings, tv shows like Pysch and Monk and some friendly competition of Jenga and poorly played darts on both ends. From there the rest seemed to fall into place. A few short weeks later Covid hit and lockdown happened and dating had some struggles. Dating became creative with bonfires and movies, homemade dinners and hikes that we often would get lost on. But ultimately it allowed us to connect more and get closer to each other. We had very similar backgrounds growing up and similar values. Our love of dogs (especially Archer), tastings at breweries, exploring new places, cooking together, and trying new foods just make up a few of the things that connect us.

Throw in some long weekend trips and family get-togethers, we now come to last year. So far all of the 10 states we have been to, we have taken photos together in, and they lay on our photo map! In typical fashion, Tim was planning to propose to Michelle and she had no clue (completely unaware). He worked closely with friends to get the ring and asked her Father for his blessing.

Tim planned a trip to San Antonio where he would propose and in typical fashion it wasn’t without its challenges. Including Tim and Michelle getting stranded on the side of the highway by their uber driver… yes… with the ring in Tim’s pocket. But we made the best of the day and Tim topped it off with a proposal at a winery. Making that the 11th photo on our map

We cannot be more excited to share this next phase of our story with all of our family and friends and look forward to coming together in September to celebrate!
