Thankfully we didn’t meet at “the baseball” house as most of you know as “17 Holley.” Through mutual friends and nights out in the college town of Brockport we found each other at the perfect time. From locking eyes in a group selfie to groups of guys and girls whispering about how each of us thought the other was cute. Finally, our middle school moment happened: Mike asked for Marla’s number and Marla nervously fumbled to give him the correct one. As Mike tried to play hard to get by making Marla wait, he finally sent the most important text to start the rest of their lives… “Hey.” Little did we know this was the start of our forever. When it came time, a gymnast and a baseball player, a South Carolinian and a New Yorker, made the leap and moved together to continue the next chapter of our journey. 6 years later through life’s challenges, busy schedules, and treacherous PT school, Mike took Marla to her favorite place on a trip she thought she planned to Charleston. He got down on one knee and proposed, to the soon to be, "Mrs. Gianni." Millie and I couldn’t be happier that we get to change our last name. Life has been nothing short of exciting and we can’t wait for all of you to join us as we start this new chapter and celebrate our WEDDING DAY!
