Michael and Riley's journey began on March 9, 2023. From their very first conversation, Riley felt an undeniable connection with Michael, knowing he was her soulmate. Their first date was coffee, dancing at sunset by a lake, and Chick-fil-a for dinner in Michael's truck. It was during a spontaneous trip to Mormon Lake later that same week that they shared their first kiss, marking the beginning of their whirlwind romance. Just a month into their relationship, already knowing it was true love, Michael made his feelings official with a sweet note inspired by the lyrics of a George Strait song: "Check Yes or No." Without hesitation, Riley marked yes, sealing their commitment to each other. Their love was tested a month later when they unexpectedly found themselves expecting a baby, but sadly, their joy turned to grief with a heartbreaking miscarriage. Yet, through this shared pain, they discovered the depth of their love and their faith in God. On October 15th, 2023, at Pikes Peak in Colorado, Michael proposed to Riley. To some, it might have seemed rushed, but for Michael and Riley, it was a moment guided by God, affirming their belief that their love was meant to be. As they embark on their marriage journey, their love continues to grow stronger each day, and they eagerly anticipate sharing their special day with all of their loved ones.
