How Our Love Story Began

It all started in 2021 with Misha’s Cupcakes — and a little help from fate (and our friends at work). One day, Laurenz brought Misha’s cupcakes to our dispatch center. I didn’t see him when he dropped them off, but I did ask who brought them up. Our friend Ashley teased, “Why? You think he’s cute or something? He’s single — I can hook it up!” And she definitely did. Even before meeting him, Ashley showed me a few pictures, and the rest fell perfectly into place. We met, went on our first date, took a spontaneous weekend getaway, and later joined friends for a trip to Orlando. Shortly after, Laurenz asked me to be his girlfriend — and the rest is history. Since then, we’ve shared countless memories: date nights, vacations, Disney trips, adventures in Paris and Georgia, and more cruises than we can count. So when it came time to plan our wedding, it only felt right to say “I do” during one of our favorite things — a cruise vacation surrounded by the people we love most. We can’t wait to celebrate our love and marriage with you at one of our favorite places, Ocean Cay.
