Our Story

We met in Columbus, Ohio, at a front yard—yes, a front yard—BBQ at our mutual friend Jeff’s house. Cecelia met Jeff in OSU Dental School, and Jeff is one of Michael’s longtime grade-school friends. Cecelia is not sure if Jeff informed Michael that a cute lady from Cleveland, Ohio, would be in attendance, but Michael came prepared in his Cleveland Indians baseball jersey—which, of course, caught Cecelia’s attention right away. Yes, Michael claims to be a Cincinnati Reds fan, but he was wearing Cleveland gear that afternoon. None of this really matters, because Michael roots for THE Ohio State University and THE Cleveland Browns (and THE University of Dayton—Michael insisted this be included). Michael introduced himself, and the rest is history. Now we share one very special golden retriever named Martin and a whole lot of memories. We cannot wait to start this new chapter in life—which will begin by celebrating with you all! See you on 7.11.26!
