Our Wedding

Our love story is really one of true love and growth. Any one that knows Michelle, knows just how independent she can be, and anyone who knows Andrew, knows just how stubborn he can be. Michelle had recently moved back from Chicago in July 2018. She started working at LGC Biosearch Technologies in September, which Andrew had already been working at for over a year. The week she started just so happened to be Andrew's birthday week, so the entire team went out to lunch that Friday to celebrate. This is where Michelle was first introduced to Andrew's crazy fun, sweet personality as he welcomed her onto the team. From that day forward, Michelle gravitated towards Andrew's positive personality and selflessness and really relied on him to help her with all of her questions. She found comfort and friendship in his openness. She would always find herself on his side of the lab laughing at his corny jokes. Weeks went by and they found themselves hanging out outside of work more and more. It wasn't until their company holiday party where they found themselves in a more flirtatious relationship. Fast forward through dating, relating, healing, growing and more, Michelle and Andrew officially started dating June 2020, mid pandemic. And, the rest of the pieces started to fall together.
