Our Story

It all started with a game of chess...

On September 21st 2022, Michael and I sat down for an epic duel that would change the course of history. That night, at Dormont Park, we played a game of chess, to see if the Force was with us. Unfortunately, your girl lost the battle that day, but won the war on October 7th, 2022 when Michael asked me to be official. Clearly it was meant to be, because we both love board games, the great outdoors, and are closeted dorks. As our love grew stronger, we realized that we wanted to go on adventures together forever. And with that, we are getting married! We can't wait for all of you to come join us for this exciting milestone celebrating our love and future family.

Fun fact: this photo started the trend of Michael and I taking this exact photo everywhere we go, because we don't like asking people to take our photo.

Did you know: I thought I was going to get proposed to on this trip, because Michael kept bringing up a surprise he had for me.. it was still sweet, but not the one ring to rule them all.

Fun Fact: Michael wanted us to be the only people on top of the mountain when he popped the question, but one person wouldn't leave, so we had to go down the hill a little bit for the proposal.
