The Start: We met in 2020, right in the middle of a global pandemic. In a year when everything felt upside down, one random Instagram DM turned into a conversation that never stopped. No mutual friends and no shared hometowns—just two people who met at exactly the right time. The Proposal: On the Saturday before Thanksgiving 2024, Mike completely surprised Rachel with a proposal. He made it even better by having our family and friends waiting to celebrate with us! It was a total dream come true! The Now: Now, we’re planning a wedding and building a life together. Whether you’ve been part of our story from the start or joined us along the way, we’re so happy you’re here. We love you all!
