Our Wedding

Hello everyone, Mike here. After 5+ years together, we've discovered each other's strengths and weaknesses, so please allow me to be your tour guide on our journey - past, present and future...The year was 2013. The Florida State&nbsp;Seminoles were National Champions, Nina was in her second year of law school, and I was in finishing up grad school. However, there was something out there that we were both missing.&nbsp;Nina and I just didn't know it yet.&nbsp;We were introduced through a mutual friend, David Ward, but remained&nbsp;only acquaintances for some time, as both of us were in other relationships. Eventually, we both broke up with our significant others&nbsp;and on February 15, 2014, shy little ole me (I'll pause for your eye rolls) worked up the courage to ask the crazy smart and incredibly beautiful future lawyer out on a date. Before we knew it, we were spending more and more time together.&nbsp;I'd visit her in Orlando during that first year together (this city holds a special place in our hearts) and once she graduated we moved to sunny South Florida.&nbsp; Flash forward a few years and&nbsp;on October 8, 2018,&nbsp;I found myself down on one knee in beautiful Tuscany, Italy asking Nina to be my wife. As we look back on what got us here, Neen and I are also extremely excited for what is to come and having all of&nbsp; you&nbsp;celebrate with us on September 7, 2019!&nbsp;Thank you and can't wait to see y'all!Nina and Mike
