WE'RE GETTING MARRIED

THEY MET... ONLINE VIA BUMBLE. AS MUCH AS MICHAEL DOES NOT WANT TO ADMIT IT, IT'S TRUE. MICHAEL DIDNT SHOW UP IN AFTON'S SUGGESTED SO SHE COULDNT "SWIPE RIGHT." HE LOOKED HER UP ON INSTAGRAM & DROPPED HER A "DM." THEY TALKED & FOUND THEY HAD MUTUAL FRIENDS AS WELL AS HAD LIVED WITHIN THE SAME CITY THEIR WHOLE LIVES. THEY CONTINUED CONVERSATION & LEARNING ABOUT ONE ANOTHER UNTIL THEIR FIRST DATE. A COMICAL STORY ABOUT THE 1ST DATE…THEY HAD JUST LEFT THE CASINO & HAD HAD A FEW DRINKS. UP AHEAD WAS A DUI CHECKPOINT. THE COPS ASKED QUESTIONS, VISIUALLY CHECKED THE CAR & SENT THEM ON THEIR WAY. MICHAEL WILL TELL THE STORY NOW, THAT HE WAS TERRIFIED AT THE MOMENT BUT AFTON COULDN’T SEE THAT AT THE TIME. ON 7/21/19, MICHAEL ASKED AFTON TO BE HIS GIRLFRIEND. THEY MOVED IN TOGETHER, HOPING THAT THEIR CATS WOULD GET ALONG. MICHAEL’S CAT IS A MAINE COON (LOOK IT UP) SO AFTON’S PETITE CAT WAS PETRIFIED TO SAY THE LEAST. THEY GOT ENGAGED...ON 7/22/20 AFTON WAS ON A GIRLS TRIP IN OCEAN CITY, MARYLAND. THE GIRLS TOOK A 5-HOUR TIKI BOAT RIDE OUT ON THE BAY. CAPTAIN PARKED THE BOAT ON A SAND BAR. AFTON WAS ON THE TIKI BOAT AT THE TIME & SAW SOMEONE OUT OF THE CORNER OF HER EYE THAT LOOKED LIKE MICHAEL. SHE THOUGHT “WOW THAT LOOKS LIKE MIKE BUT HE’S NOT HERE.” SO SHE CONTINUED LOOKING AT HER PHONE & THEN TOOK A SECOND GLANCE. IT WAS MIKE! HE JUMPED ONTO THE BOAT & GOT DOWN ON ONE KNEE&PROPOSED. IN COMPLETE SHOCK AFTON DIDN’T SAY YES FOR ABOUT THE FIRST 10 MINUTES. BUT OF COURSE YOU KNOW HOW THAT STORY ENDS…HE DIDN’T KNOW HOW HE WAS GOING TO PROPOSE BUT FELT THE GIRLS TRIP WAS THE PERFECT TIME. HE ACTUALLY TOOK A JET SKI DRIVEN BY A SCRAWNY KID 1/4 OF HIS SIZE AT 70 MPH TO GET TO AFTON’S LOCATION. MICHAEL WILL TELL YOU THAT WAS HIS FIRST&PROBABLY HIS LAST JET SKI EXPERIENCE. THEY DANCED IN THE WATER TO THEIR FAVORITE DAN & SHAY SONG & CELEBRATED THE REST OF THE NIGHT.
