It all began back in 2018, when Micah moved from Pinckney to Morrice and met Tracy. From the moment he saw her, he was completely captivated. After a few months of friendship, Micah made the first move — sliding into Tracy’s DMs.

They spent nearly every day talking, texting, and hanging out. For their first Valentine’s Day together, Micah got Tracy a cantaloupe, one of her favorite fruits. Tracy thought it was hilarious, immediately cutting it open to enjoy it. A week into getting more serious, Micah met Tracy’s mom, Arlinda, who welcomed him into the family with open arms — but not without a warning: don’t hurt my daughter. Micah, with a grin, promised, “I wouldn’t think about doing such a thing.”

It wasn't much longer when Micah invited Tracy to meet his parents. Nervous but eager to make a good impression, Tracy shook Ang and Zach’s hands, feeling the weight of the moment. But when they left with hugs, Tracy felt more at ease. Later that evening, Micah’s parents pulled him aside and told him to hold on to Tracy — and six years later, she’s still the one.

Their relationship continued to grow over the years, filled with dates, road trips, and vacations. Micah took Tracy to Pennsylvania and Chicago, while Tracy brought him to Kentucky to visit her dad’s resting place. It was there that Micah, in awe of her strength, asked her how she managed to keep going without Jaime. Tracy shared that her father would want her to flourish and grow, knowing he was always watching over her.

Like any couple, Tracy and Micah faced their fair share of challenges, but through it all, their love and commitment only grew stronger. From buying and selling their first home to renovating their new house into their comfort zone, they faced each new chapter hand-in-hand. It often felt as though they’d been married for years. Eventually, they knew it was time to take the next step and make it official.

Not ones to follow tradition, they spent months discussing the kind of rings they both wanted. One day, Tracy decided to surprise Micah with his engagement ring, and after waiting two long weeks for it to arrive, she couldn’t wait any longer. The moment the ring was delivered, Tracy, under the impression that Micah knew it was coming, got down on one knee and asked him to be her person, her rock, forever. Completely caught off guard, Micah, of course, said yes. The two of them laughed about the surprise proposal, especially since Micah had totally forgotten they’d picked out his ring together.

Our story is just beginning, and we can't wait to see what the future holds. Thank you for being a part of our journey as we take this next step into forever!
