Our Wedding

<p>We like to think that God's timing is the perfect timing in all areas of life! Elijah and I were busy tending to our families, friends, and careers when in December of 2023, a fellow named Nico insisted that Elijah and I meet and mingle. Elijah and I had sparks flying right away (although he likes to tease that he had to get my "woo shields" down), and within eight months of our first date, we were engaged. When you know, you know! We've had an absolutely beautiful time thus far living life together, spending time with family, and doing lots of "firsts" together. We are beyond excited to have you there with us on our big day, which will be a celebration of how love never fails. </p>

A Long Awaited Love

Our Story

Photos

Michelle's "high school sweetheart", these two have been joined at the hip since a fateful math class senior year. Michelle was honored to be her maid of honor in 2012 and all these years later, the favor is returned. Niki is always Shelly's cheerleader! 

Nicole Hughes

Kristin and Michelle have been two blondes palling around together since elementary days at Miller School of Dance. Their friendship has blossomed like a well nurtured garden over the years; Kristin is a beautiful and integral part of Michelle's life! 

Kristin Barancic

Alex is Michelle's first cousin who was like a little sister to her over the years. They have had many fun adventures together, from playing "house" together as kids to actually being roommates! "Big Al" has been a constant source of support and joy for Michelle.

Alexandra Power

Julia is Michelle's rock-solid first cousin who was like a big sister to her over the years. They've shared countless laughs (some to the point of tears), a plethora of family memories, and a passion for helping others in the medical field. 

Julia Socol

Caroline and Michelle have a unique story, where they are sisters that did not meet each other until they were in their late teens. But, they have more than made up for that fact, with being together for many pivotal and everyday life events! Caroline inspires with her zest for life! 

Caroline Johnson

Katie and Michelle have been extremely close since their high school days (meeting through dance). Michelle always felt welcomed not only by Katie, but by her people too, including beach trips and many local shenanigans! Katie's down-to-earth humor is always a highlight!

Katie Lynn

Amber and Michelle bonded through the art of dance, and have continued to clap for one another throughout the years! Simply put, Amber makes everything better. Whether it's enjoying a silly inside joke, a much needed girls night, or a life milestone, Amber has faithfully been there.
