hahaha the long version is they met at a Kappa Sigma pref night in fall of 2013 where Mike insulted Joanna's high school by calling it ghetto, and about a month or so later Mike was showing her how to drunkenly two-step at THE FOX. As we all know any great story from The Fox ends with girl puking with the man holding her hair back... and so began their love story. Once Mike got the *lick* of approval from Joanna's dog Bella they've been inseparable ever since.

Joanna lost count of how many times she bothered Mike about proposing, so much so that she drew him a picture of the ring style she liked and put it on a sticky note for his safekeeping for whenever he decided to FINALLY propose. In the spring of 2018 she figured their upcoming family trip to Aruba in the summer would be his perfect opportunity to propose, little did she know that he already had an even more amazing plan in mind. Mike secretly asked Joanna's parents for her hand in marriage and then a little while later Mike proposed on May 26, 2018, at Joanna's favorite building in the world- The Texas State Capitol. Mike got their families to drive into Austin to surprise her too and had a friend to take pictures of it all. It was the most perfect day... except the weather, they could've done without the 100 degree Texas Heat.
