We met at work and quickly became friends. There was always an attraction beyond just the physical, though we resisted acting on it. Beyond the professional reasons for keeping our connection at bay, we really weren’t in the “relationship space”. Mike- “My mother had suddenly passed away and starting a relationship was the last thing on my mind.” Michelle- “I was planning on moving to Dallas to start a new life there!” Yet something drew us in, in spite of it all. A few months later we had our first “unofficial” date out as a group- at Blackfinn that ended very officially with a kiss. We knew then that our walls weren’t going to hold up to what was growing between us.
We had made plans to go to Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden. It was a cool yet misty December night with that right bit of holiday magic in the air. As we strolled along the mist grew thicker and there appeared a very romantically lit and very dry gazebo. Conveniently the gazebo happened to be free in that moment of group photoshoots. The timing was now, the setting was perfect. This was the day we very, very officially promised to spend the rest of our lives together. To date, it was our best Christmas yet! We’re so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you! See you in October!
