Celebrating a mutual friend's birthday at a dueling piano bar, Liz barely gave Michael the time of day. Little did she know... our paths would cross again.
Liz returned from studying abroad in Italy just in time to both graduate and reconnect with Michael. On a fateful night in Midtown, our paths crossed again and our love story began. During our last few weeks in Gainesville, we shared lots of laughs and stories.
We both continued on our planned paths pursuing our budding careers...on opposite sides of the country! Liz was up in Schenectady, NY, and Michael in Santa Clara, CA. The distance was challenging yet brought us closer together by teaching us the importance of communication and appreciation. During this time we built a very strong foundation.
After much consideration, Liz decided to move out West to the best coast and take a new job. We moved into our first apartment together in downtown San Francisco and continued building our lives together. We love exploring the city, California, and the world together.
On a quiet Sunday, we went for a stroll around one of our favorite spots in SF: Land's End & Sutro Baths. Greeted by whales in the mouth of the Bay and an incredible sunset, Michael surprised Liz with a special question. Michael knew for a while that he wanted to propose to Liz at this very spot.
2020 has been... weird. While it won't be the big celebration we were originally planning, we can't wait to share this special day with everyone!
