Michael and Zithry met in March 2020 right before the pandemic through a dating app. It was a hard time to find love, not only was COVID a factor but a few months after it was summertime! Since COVID had shut everything down the only places to hang out were outdoors, so they did what any normal person would have done. They had snack dates and walking dates at Riverwalk. Eventually restaurants started opening up and the first restaurant date was at PF Changs in June of 2020. They went on many adventures together with family and friends. Some of their favorite adventures were when they sat and stared into the beauty of nature. And with COVID guidelines getting stricter their love blossomed. They found peace in each other and learned to endure hard times together. They dated for 3 years and on January 12, 2023 on a Birthday trip to Cambria at my favorite restaurant, Michael proposed! In Zithry's mind, she couldn't help but exclaim "finally!" when the moment she had been waiting for arrived. However, when it came to expressing her excitement verbally, she chose to respond with a more composed and expected "of course." To ensure that her affirmation was crystal clear, Zithry added a touch of emphasis by also uttering "yes" and, just in case there was any doubt, "duh!" Zithry wanted to make sure that he didn't miss her enthusiastic affirmation. By using three different ways to convey her agreement, Zithry had to make made certain that her message was loud and clear. Now here they are, a small wedding away from being Mr. & Mrs. for the rest of their lives. The anticipation is mounting as they eagerly await the gathering of all their beloved ones in a single location. It is a celebration of their online love and a testament to the growth and strength of their bond. This gathering will serve as a cherished opportunity to witness firsthand the expansion of their love and to bask in the presence of those who hold a special place in their hearts. The joy that fills their hearts is immeasurable, for it is a testament to the power of connection in the digital age. Thank you for being a part of it! See you there!! #M&ZForever
