Michael was holding up the wall with his buddies, drinking beer and enjoying the live music at Canoes Cabaret when Tina bravely approached one of Michael's friends and asked him to dance. Michael’s friend said no and passed her off to the next friend, who said no and passed her off to the next friend, who said no and passed her off to Michael... The last person in line holding up the wall. Michael's friends proceeded to goad Michael into dancing with Tina. Tina had a few drinks under her belt, celebrating her 49th birthday, and the three time rejection made her smile and laugh. Michael and Tina danced to a couple of songs and eventually Michael asked Tina her name. She told him and then asked him his name and he replied Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna de Miguel Holland (his bar name, ha!). Tina proceeded to laugh and said, it's nice to meet you Antonio. Fast forward thirty-minutes or so and Antonio came up to Tina and asked her to dance and she said yes. After a few dances Antonio asked Tina for her phone number and with a leap of faith she gave it to him. The rest is history.
Michael popped the question on Enchanted Rock and spoiled Tina with Le Vian Chocolate diamonds set in rose gold. But first, Michael asked Tina's parents (Jim and Marsha) permission as well as her daughter (Hannah). Good thing they all approved. :-) Michael and Tina went for a hike on Enchanted Rock, a place that Michael spent a great amount of time on while growing up in Texas. Michael made Tina work for it with a 1.3 mile climb up the largest pink granite monadnock in the US. With Tina's daughters (Hannah and Nomuun) and Michael's son and his girlfriend (Joshua and Morgan) as witnesses, Michael popped the question and Tina said yes. Tina got Rocked on Enchanted Rock.
