Our story began in a unexpected way, brought together by mutual friends and shared moments of celebration. Michael attended a friend’s gender reveal, while at the same time, Antalicia’s brother, Joshua, was celebrating a friend’s journey into fatherhood once again. It was in that moment that Mike and Josh met, and a beautiful bromance began. As they conversed about faith and Christ, Josh invited Mike to church, and true to his word, Mike attended. After a few visits, Mike’s heart was captivated by a work of art the beauty that was Antalicia. With the respect of a gentleman, Mike sought Joshua’s blessing to pursue the lovely Antalicia. Though Licia was hesitant to open her heart again, she couldn’t deny the peace and certainty that washed over her when she met Mike. It felt as if their souls had already crossed paths in another lifetime. And so, their journey to forever began first as friends that turned into an eternal love. Together, they have faced losses and celebrated countless joyous moments. Through it all, their faith in God has guided them, bringing them to this very moment. We invite you to join us in celebrating another beautiful milestone in our love story, as we look forward to many more moments to come. With love, Michael & Antalicia
