We are married!

Lori Hall was celebrating her birthday at Main Street Pub in Wagoner, OK on February 24th, 2018. Michael inquired about Manda after he had seen her previously in town at various spots. Much to Michael’s surprise Manda had just moved back to Wagoner a few months prior. Once Michael learned more about Manda he began to pursue her. They went on a group date on February 28, 2018 and the chemistry between the two was undeniable. Michael couldn’t see her enough. So much so that he asked her outagain on March 3rd where they went to downtown Tulsa for his brother’s birthday. They both took things slow and casually were dating up until the beginning of April. Michael and Manda decided to focus on each other for a little while and see where the dedicated times together took them. On April 24, 2018, they made it official! They have been inseparable ever since. You would never see one without the other.

Michael had planned for David, Loretta, Manda and himself to go to the Darryl Starbird Custom Car show on February 16, 2019. Michael got Manda and her mom to go check out a 1968 Camaro SS, Manda’s favorite, while he got David away so he could ask him one of the most important questions he will ever be asked, his daughter’s hand in marriage. David gladly gave his blessing and no one even had a clue. Michael then took a picture with Manda in front of the very car he asked her dad if he could marry his daughter.

Michael booked an amazing cruise close to Manda’s birthday as a “birthday” surprise. They disembarked from the Port of Galveston with two port of calls in Mexico. They arrived in Costa Maya, Mexico on June 21, 2019 for their first port of call. They set out for their all inclusive beach excursion where Michael had planned to propose below the lighthouse down the walkway of the Costa Maya beach market. Once they reached the sandy beach low the lighthouse Michael popped the question, “Will you spend the rest of our crazy lives together as my wife?” She, of course, gladly accepted! They spent the rest of their vacation as a newly engaged couple.
