Mike knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with Mattie on their first trip away together in Maine. On the first night, they sat by the lake around a fire and were having their most intimate conversation yet. At one point, they both looked up to see the most vivid shooting star either of them had ever seen. It was at this point, for Mike at least, that he knew he'd met his soul mate. When Mattie was spending a 4th July weekend with a friend, she was on the beach and saw two shells that fit inside each other. She picked them up and said 'It's me and Mike, because we fit together'. Since both of those seminal moments, Shells and Shooting Stars have been an important motif to Mattie's and Mike's life together. It would be their privilege for you to join them in person as they commit to each other for the rest of their lives.
