Our Wedding

Gorgi, also known as George, and Shelly met in October 2011 through an online dating site. George's daughter Miranda and his mother Slavica encouraged him to start dating again, and when he came across Shelly's profile, he was immediately drawn to her. They both shared a love for cooking, family, and sports. After exchanging a few messages, they decided to exchange numbers. Their first conversation lasted for about three hours, and they felt like they had known each other for years. On their first date, George showed that he was interested in a long-term relationship when he liked fries with mustard and even stole some off Shelly's plate. After a few weeks of dating, George introduced Shelly to his daughter Miranda, and during dinner, Miranda introduced Shelly as George's girlfriend, officially marking the start of their relationship on October 27, 2011. George surprised Shelly and asked for her hand in marriage with the help of Olive (Shelly's niece) and the rest of the family in Chicago in July '23. Over the years, they have shared many laughs and heartbreaks, including the loss of Slavica. However, their relationship has grown stronger, and they are excited to take the next step in their journey together. Life is funny and beautiful, and Gorgi and Shelly are grateful to have found each other.
