We're getting married!

It all began in the most serendipitous of ways. Michelle had just booked an impromptu trip to Miami, even though she had a weekend getaway to Chicago already planned for the following week. Flying two weekends in a row? Wild, but she was all in. During her time in Miami, Michelle’s friend introduced her to a lively group of women, one of whom would change her life forever: Alice. Alice was spontaneous, bright, and full of energy—everything Michelle loved. It didn’t take long for them to click. As Michelle explained her upcoming trip to Chicago, Alice jumped at the chance to offer her hospitality in the Windy City. "I’d love to show you around!" she said. And so, just a week later, Michelle found herself in Chicago, exploring the city with Alice as her guide. The two bonded immediately over their shared love of culture, food, and experiences. But it was when Alice casually mentioned her older brother that Michelle’s interest truly piqued. "If I love you," Michelle thought, "I’m sure I'll love him too." Alice shared a photo of Bobby, and Michelle was smitten. Handsome, confident, and... Jewish? She couldn't help but be intrigued. What Michelle didn’t know at the time was that Alice had been quietly plotting their introduction. It was during a conversation at a wedding that Alice's plan came to fruition. Bobby had suggested to Alice that she crash the wedding of their good friends, Gary and Katrina—and Michelle, as her plus-one. Michelle had no idea that this wedding would be the place where she’d meet the man who would soon become her partner for life. When Michelle and Alice walked into the wedding, Bobby was immediately struck by Michelle’s beauty and confidence. And Michelle, just as captivated, felt an instant connection with Bobby’s charm, kindness, and self-assuredness. Without missing a beat, Bobby asked Michelle to dance. It was the beginning of something unforgettable. Surrounded by Bobby’s best friends, the sparks were undeniable. After the dance, the night ended with Bobby texting his sister to thank her for introducing him to his future bride. In that moment, Bobby knew. The first text he sent to Michelle wasn’t just a simple "nice to meet you"—it was about their future wedding arrangements. And just like that, a spark had turned into something much bigger. The connection between Bobby and Michelle deepened over the months that followed, despite the long-distance challenge between New York and Chicago. Their love grew stronger with each phone call, each visit, each shared memory. Nearly nine months later, Bobby took Michelle back to Miami, the place where it all began. Surrounded by their loving and supportive families, the magic of the city and the memories they’d already created, Bobby asked Michelle to be his forever. A love like theirs is rare—timeless, passionate, and filled with moments that always felt like fate. Both Bobby and Michelle feel incredibly lucky to have found each other. And they know their story is only just beginning.
