Adventure awaits: sandy toes, salty kisses, and our 'I dos' in paradise!

The universe works in funny ways. On July 31, 2020, in the middle of a pandemic, neither of us *really* wanted to go to a 21st birthday party for a mutual family friend. (Let’s be honest—it was a Wednesday, we were freshly single, and the idea of socializing felt… exhausting.) Michelle planned to stay just for dinner and duck out early. Drey was going to show up late, have *one* drink, and make a quiet exit. But then—just as Michelle was about to leave, the door opened. There he was. One look, and suddenly, "just one drink" turned into hours of laughing like old friends. Plans to stay single? Gone. By Friday, we were on our first date: sushi, a foreign film, and the kind of easy connection that made it all feel *meant to be*. Since then, life’s been one wild, joyful ride—skydiving, traveling, road trips, concerts, gaming marathons, and an *unhealthy* amount of horror movies. Now, we’re building our happily ever after in Vista, CA, with careers we love, a home close to everything that matters, and our two sassy chihuahuas, Coco and Siracha, ruling the roost. And the best adventure? It’s still just beginning. Here’s to forever.
