It's All Happening!

Catherine and Michael met through mutual friends... well sorta. In true Millennial fashion, they met on a dating app (that connected them through mutual friends). Shortly after "matching" Michael called Catherine and asked her out on a date. When Michael picked Cat up, he remembers thinking, "Holy sh*t, she's out of my league!" When they got to the restaurant, Cat ordered a cheeseburger and flatbread to share, and, even though he's wildly lactose intolerant, Michael didn't say anything and ate alongside her. Michael had a great time, but was so nervous that when he walked her to her door to say goodnight, he didn't even try for a kiss! As he went in for a hug, she actually pulled him in for a kiss... Now they're getting married!

Michael wanted to do something special and uniquely Catherine, or "Pinky," as he likes to call her. After months of arrangements, major anxiety, and flawless execution, Michael surprised Pinky by taking her to an alpaca ranch (her absolute favorite animal). After an hour of petting, feeding, and taking pictures with the alpacas, Pinky got to walk one around the property. At the top of a hill with a scenic overlook behind them, Michael got down on one knee. As Michael nervously fumbled with the ring, Catherine said "YES" before he even popped the question. Not to be deterred, Michael officially asked her and she said "YES!" again. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in Temecula!
