Billy and Michelle met at work at Jimmy's Charhouse in Elgin Illinois. After being forced to work together behind the bar, they got to know each other and cared for one another. As Billy branched out of his comfort zone he asked Michelle to grab a drink one night after work at a hole in the wall bar. They talked of life and family. Discovering that they've crossed paths earlier in life by work as teenagers. The spark grew to deep feelings for one another. Billy asked her to go to a Cubs game and that's where the L word got thrown around. He brought her to meet his family and met Michelle's daughters shortly after. Billy got his best friend Chance the puppy (who Michelle loved as her own). Then Billy broke his ankle at Country Thunder and Michelle ran to take care of him. They moved in together in Elgin, as Billy became the best step- father to Michelle's daughters Natalia and Lily, they became a little family. After tragedy struck with the sudden loss of their family dog Chance, they really survived through love and communication. Some time later they adopted Floater and healed a little better. When Billy proposed on August 29th 2020 after sky diving, Michelle of course said yes. Through hard times and tragedy they've had each other. It wasn't easy, there were fights and misunderstandings, but they survived every moment with love. As the two of us are finally getting married we are truly comforted to share this day with our closest friends and family.
