It all began over a simple lunch and a chance conversation that sparked a connection neither of us saw coming. That unexpected moment turned into our first official date—a Sunday brunch at a Dueling Piano Bar. We talked, we laughed, and deep down, we both felt something truly special beginning.

From that day forward, we were inseparable. Since then, our lives have been full of laughter, adventure, and meaningful moments. In just a few short months, we’ve shared adventures of a lifetime—standing in awe of Niagara Falls, exploring the beauty of Amish country, and dancing along to some incredible live bands. It feels as if we were always meant to find each other.

One night, under the glow of eclectic ice cream parlor lights on an open karaoke mic, Mike sang Color My World, and in that moment, the words echoed the love and joy we’d found in each other.

On June 20th, we got engaged, and now we’re looking ahead with full hearts. We can’t wait to spend the years ahead traveling the country together with our dogs Lexa and Sandy. Sharing time with our beloved friends, family, and continuing to color each other’s world every single day .
