We're getting married!

*Disclaimer: This cheesy and unnecessarily lengthy story was written by Mike (largely in the third person for some reason) after two glasses of red wine and without Kristin's knowledge or permission. All accusations of cringe can rightly be directed toward Mike and Mike alone. Growing up fewer than 10 miles apart from each other, Kristin and Mike likely crossed paths several times in high school alone. Kristin, a high-flying cheerleader in Fairfield, and Mike, a super cool (he swears) marching band member in Norwalk, can only imagine how close they must have come to meeting during high-stakes Falcons v. Bears football games. Both Kristin and Mike committed to UConn for their undergraduate journeys where they continued to unknowingly circle each other for almost four more years. They both frequented countless basketball games, participated in Greek life, and could often be found downing pizza and Beaver’s at Ted's. It wasn’t until the end of senior year that Kristin and Mike finally met on their Spring Break trip in Cancun, Mexico. Mike was immediately smitten with Kristin, and made several attempts to win her over once they returned to campus in the remaining days before graduation. He hand-delivered ice cream to her and her roommates' apartment, sent several texts "just checking" to see if she was going to Nickel Night and even offered to make her dinner in his moldy frat house kitchen. Thankfully, Kristin finally saw Mike for the hunk he is! They ended the year having a blast at each other’s fraternity and sorority formals (see photo gallery for evidence), and the rest is history! Fast forwarding to today, with their dream wedding on the horizon, Kristin and Mike can only begin to count the number of happy memories they have made together since they first met nearly 10 years ago. Kristin and Mike cannot wait to celebrate with you all, their closest friends and family, as they begin their next chapter together. Thank you all for being such important people in our lives and thank you in advance for giving us the party of our lifetime! See you in September!
