This is the love story of Michael Panaro (Mikey) and Alyssa Abraham (Abes). Once upon a time in 2014, Alyssa went out in the city with her cousin from California named Megan. She decided that she wanted to introduce her to some of her friends from Cortland. We ventured off into my friend Richie's apartment, and that's when I first met Mikey. We talked for most of the night, and parted ways. Little did I know, he was good friends with my friend Jules who lived in Long Beach (and is now our priestess). Our paths would eventually begin to cross as friends more and more over the next few years. I was coming to Long Beach for some summer fun, and was shown the town by no one other than "The Lord of Long Beach," yes, that is what Mikey calls himself. From countless Long Beach summer beach days, to hitting the town at night, we became close friends. It was not until we went to the Museum of Moving Images in Astoria with a bunch of our friends, that I started crushing hard on him in the creepy cat Youtube section of the museum, and so did he. One day, he decided to ask me to come out to brunch on St. Patty's Day weekend in Long Beach. By the end of the night we could not deny our love for each other, by kissing whilst standing on Jules' kitchen table (sorry Jules!). We were dating ever since, and decided to take some epic overseas trips together, where we became even closer and more in love with each new experience we faced together. He surprised me with our engagement at Fisherman's Bastion in Budapest, Hungary, and I couldn't have been more happy/excited/confused/felt like I was in a dream ever since. Little did I know, our flight was delayed and could have potentially ruined all of his plans, but being the amazing person he is inside and out, he changed everything to the next day to make my dreams come true. I guess you could say our love story is only just beginning. Thank god for brunch.

My majestic journey on Earth started in the best decade ever, the 1990's. I was born in Huntington, New York to Robert Abraham and Angelica Abraham. Little did they realize, they birthed a legend. Thankfully I graduated high school with straight A's and was on my merry way to the arctic tundra known as Cortland, New York. Little did I know, my journey attending SUNY Cortland was about to change the course of my life (for the better). It is here that I met my best friends and sisters that turned into my family (they are currently 90% of my bridesmaids)! Cortland was the connection that led me to meeting my future hubby, Mikey. It is through our mutual friends and family who attended Cortland that eventually led us to each other not to soon after graduation.

An eighties baby born in Queens, New York to Raymond and Cindy. This little blonde hair blue eyed stunner was ready for the world. I would eventually move out to Holbrook, where I would excel at school (enough) to get into the prestigious SUNY Cortland. This would become the best decision of my life where I would meet many of my good friends, and it would lead me to meet the love of my life Alyssa. From there it was history and the world was not ready for the two of us.
