Welcome to our wedding website!

Michael and Leah met just one month after Michael was discharged from the military. After four years braving Arctic weather in Minot, North Dakota, he was ready for some warmth—both from the Florida sun and, unknowingly, from a girl who would change everything. Fate brought them together at a place they both loved: the gym. At first, it was all subtle glances and quiet curiosity—timing their workouts just to catch each other’s eye. One day, Leah took a leap, found Michael on Instagram, and hit “follow.” The message was received. Their first date was at a small restaurant near campus. While Leah was adorably awkward and Michael wasn’t quite sure what to make of it all, something told him to give her a second chance. That chance turned into a connection neither of them expected—but both of them wanted. Two months later, Michael surprised Leah with a puppy, Lila, after she returned from a trip to visit her family—and officially asked her to be his girlfriend. Fast-forward six years: countless memories, lessons, laughs, and love later, they’ve grown into each other’s best friends. They now share a home filled with joy, two lovable pups—Kota and Blu—and a love built on trust, growth, and a lot of gym dates.
