Our Story
We met in May of 2022, and our first date was at Brass Tacks, a cozy coffee shop in Houston's EaDo district. Lilly was quickly charmed by Michael's sense of humor, and Michael loved Lilly's kindness and sense of adventure. Since that day, our relationship has felt like one long and beautiful coffee date - filled with laughter, love, and plenty of caffeine!
On October 23rd, 2024, Michael proposed on the coast of Acadia National Park - it was the easiest yes of Lilly's life! We feel so grateful to have shared our lives together for the past three years, and are so excited to get married!
Here are just a few of our favorite memories together 💛
