It all began in the fall of 2019, when Michaela and Patrick met in their college dorm at the University of Kentucky! By January 2020, they were spending nearly every day together, and by the end of February 2020, their friendship had grown into love. Together, they enjoy going on walks, traveling, hiking, watching shows, cooking, dancing, and spending time with their cat, Leo. After graduating from the University of Kentucky in May 2023, Michaela and Patrick began a new chapter together in Columbus, Ohio - Patrick started his first job, and Michaela began graduate school. Through every life milestone, they've continued to grow together, hand in hand, and are so excited to build a life and family together. Then, on July 20, 2025, along a beautiful cliff in Maui, Hawaii, overlooking the ocean, Patrick and Michaela got engaged! We are so excited to celebrate our love with you at our Wedding on Friday, July 24, 2026!
