We're getting married!

Our love story began in college, when two paths crossed in a moment that was equal parts unexpected, chaotic, and unforgettable. From the very first glance, there was an undeniable feeling that this connection was something rare and meant to last—at least for Michael, whose instant crush on Isaiah was so strong that he quite literally walked into a glass door while admiring him. His pride may have taken a hit, but his heart was already all in. Later that same day came what would become the very first message of their forever: a thoughtful Instagram message from Isaiah, who shared the same admiration for Michael, making sure Michael was okay. That simple message opened the door to weeks of nonstop conversations—learning about one another, sharing stories, exchanging countless smiles, and forming a friendship that grew stronger with every passing day. Long before their first official date, it became clear that what they shared was truly special. In October of 2021, that friendship turned into forever-in-the-making. Since then, they have shared some of the happiest years of their lives, standing by one another through every high and low as each other’s biggest supporters, motivators, and greatest fans. Together, they’ve created countless memories—lantern ceremonies where time seemed to stand still, golden sunsets along the beaches of Puerto Rico, a breathtaking hot air balloon ride in Mexico, and adventures that brought them closer with every step. Italy became the setting for one of the most meaningful moments of their lives. On a sunset boat ride along the breath-taking cliffs of Cinque Terre, beneath glowing skies and gentle waves, Isaiah and Michael both asked one another to marry them—Isaiah beating Michael to it first. The evening was filled with happy tears, joy, and the overwhelming feeling that everything had led them exactly where they were meant to be. Their journey together has been shaped not only by incredible travels and milestones, but also by the everyday moments—supporting one another through career changes, embracing new opportunities, cheering each other on, and building a partnership rooted in kindness, trust, and unconditional love. Together, they even purchased their first property and turned it into a warm, cozy home filled with comfort and love. Now, with their wedding day approaching, Michael and Isaiah look toward the future with full hearts and endless gratitude. In both the big moments and the quiet ones, they find their greatest joy in leaning on one another and welcoming each new day side by side. Forever may never feel like enough time, but they are so excited to cherish every moment of this next chapter—hand in hand. Thank you for being part of their special day and helping create yet another unforgettable memory in their beautiful, ever-growing love story.
