We love to tell the story of how we met! Our meeting began during transfer orientation at University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Stephen was sitting at a free table when Michelle decided to take an empty seat across from him. Her dad joined shortly after and they all began to make small chit chat. When discussing where they were from, Stephen mentioned that he was born and raised in California. This caught their attention, since Michelle was born in California as well. Her dad went off for parent orientation, leaving Stephen and Michelle to spend a day full of laughter and finding similarities in one another. Their first date was at ArtScape in Baltimore, MD- over 10 years ago. Now, they are college graduates, working individuals, and proud parents to a kind, intelligent, and hilarious 7-year-old, Elena Masterson. Stephen and Michelle couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate their love and can’t wait to see you all on May 17th!
