Dennis and Michelle's love story begins at Fratelli's Italian Restaurant in May 2023. They did not know if they would make it starting out long distance, and Dennis loves cheese on everything, while Michelle always avoids cheese. Although they have many differences, the love is authentic and has blossomed and thrived. Dennis and Michelle would meet at the midpoint of their two states, Maryland and Pennsylvania and often drive 2.5-3 hours to see each other. Eventually, Dennis moved to MD so he could be closer to Michelle and their dates included: hikes to the mountains, shows at the Kennedy Center, views of the Mediterranean Sea, and Michelle taught Dennis all about Whitney Houston and Tyler Perry's Madea. Dennis taught Michelle about nature, country living, and cooking. Michelle feels confident about her future knowing she has a man who can cook. 3.5 years later, they are tying the knot and are very excited about their big day. We thank everyone who is coming to celebrate with us and we hope December 19 will the best moments to usher in the Christmas and Holiday season. This is Us!
