Our Wedding

Kris and Mish

We go wayyyyyyyyy back....15 years to be exact. We met at a New Year's Eve party in 2003 (thanks, G!), and hung out as friends for the next 5 years, spending many a night at Club Hess, the Cafe', The Saloon, Lucy's, and Trolley Square, to name a few.Friends became more than friends and for the past decade, we've been laughing together, taking trips (everyone's favorite question is "where are you going next?"), relaxing at the beach, and giving each other heart eyes. Along the way, there's also been a move to Exton, a furbaby (MOJO!) and several trips to Key West.

The Engagement: In true Krista and Michelle fashion, Michelle proposed in Key West, post-beach, pre-booze cruise, with a light up plastic blinking ring. And in lieu of responding, Krista ran to the bathroom. Eventually, she said yes :)

Now we can't wait to return to this special place to celebrate with friends and family! 

UPDATE:&nbsp; In even true-er Krista &&nbsp;Michelle fashion,&nbsp; Sunset Pier sustained structural damage during Hurricane&nbsp;Irma, forcing us to push back the wedding from May 4th to November 2nd.&nbsp; &nbsp;#onlyus
