How We Met
From matching on Bumble, to meeting in person at Sublime Doughnuts, who knew a swipe right would lead to something so sweet? *Unless you're a Millennial looking for love
Falling in Love
Lorraine knew Mike was the one when she watched him take initiative to help her study while she struggled through PA school. "It was an eye opening moment to see him do everything he could, including trying his best to pronounce medical terms and cleaning my kitchen so I wouldn't procrastinate. He effortlessly poured into me and showed me a kind of love that I didn't think I'd experience. With love like that, there's no way I could see him as anything but the one for me."
Popping the Question
Michael had everything planned and set up perfectly. Flower petals and candles decorated the house, champagne on ice, Lorraine's favorite love songs queued up and playing to set the mood. Then, Lorraine had one of her signature 'car hiccups' and ran out of gas to a complete stop.....4 doors away from the house. Despite everything being completely set and in motion, Mike swooped in to save the day (as usual) and still made sure the proposal was as perfect as ever. In fact, one might even say it's typical "us". No matter what, we're in it together.

Jessica Bruce
Matron of Honor
She's my cousin, but that just doesn't seem to cut it. It's like we were handed one heart and agreed to share it (even though she definitely got the softer, more wholesome side). She's the Country Mouse to my City Mouse. She's pure, unconditional love in a way that's nothing short of magic.

The kindest soul and the kind of friend whose heart speaks louder than words. She's steadfast, genuine and an all around safe-space I'm so lucky to have.

Angela Majied
Bridesmaid
A motivational speech is human form - loud, relentless, and slightly unhinged in the best way possible. If I'm still in the game, just know it's because Angie wouldn't let me quit.

Bridesmaid
A gorgeous, gorgeous girl with a radiant soul, inside and out. What a rare gift it is to have a friend who shows me just what it means to always strive for wholeness. Never settling. Always becoming. A true role model!

Christine Nau
Bridesmaid
The walking, talking embodiment of chaos, serving looks and side-eyes like it's a full time job. We bond over the madness, thrive in the mayhem and laugh through the insanity like it's therapy and that's exactly why I love her. (She's judging this btw)
