Victor and Michelle met through his sister, Chantel. This conversation happened side-by-side on the StairMaster at the gym, both catching their breath and venting about life. Chantel mentioned she had a brother Michelle should meet, and when he came to town for a fraternity brother’s wedding, she invited Michelle over for dinner to introduce them. Victor arrived wearing a suit with a gold tie and immediately caught Michelle’s attention. After dinner, they took a walk along the cobblestone streets of German Village in Columbus, talking and laughing as if they had known each other for years. The next day Victor asked Michelle out to dinner. During that date he asked if he could buy her a ticket to Atlanta to visit him. Being a doctor and a lawyer with busy schedules, they simply pulled out their phones and planned the trip right there. At the time Michelle’s son, Tres, was 12 years old, and over time their relationship grew into a strong and loving family. Their greatest blessing came in 2023 with the birth of their daughter, Victory, who perfectly represents the joy of their journey together. What began St. Patrick’s Day weekend in 2018 became the start of forever.
