Mike and Emily met online and very quickly hit it off, knowing that this was special and different even in just talking with each other. Rumor has it they both were smitten before even meeting for their first date. Mike and Emily got coffee for what they expected to be a normal-length first date, and then spent over three hours talking and getting to know one another. They bonded over their love for music and their sense of humor, along with their desire to learn more about each other. They proceeded to go out on a date every weekend and ended up falling in love as they realized they not only found their partner, but their best friend. They spent the next year integrating into each other's lives, meeting family and friends, celebrating holidays and weddings and achievements, all while falling even more in love. They spoke a lot about the future and were very excited when they realized they shared a lot of the same life goals and interests. They both agree their relationship thrives on communication, respect for their individuality, and above all, laughter. On March 12, a year since their first date, Mike popped the question, surprising Emily with friends and family to celebrate this special day! Mike and Emily are very excited to celebrate their marriage with you and ready to continue growing together in this special new chapter. Cheers!
