It all began in 2017 at Stockton University, where fate had a funny way of bringing them together. A friend of hers mentioned that a freshman needed a date for a Date Night, and she agreed to go. Little did they know, that night would kick off a journey that would change their lives forever. From the very beginning, Mike and Marissa hit it off—before things got a little... interesting (Mike got really drunk,) But even through the chaos, there was something special between them. It was as if the universe was telling them, that this was just the start of something amazing. However, things didn’t quite click right away for Mike. He had no idea she was interested in him! After a few days of back-and-forth confusion, one of their friends had to step in and have "the talk" with him. Once that happened, they could no longer ignore the chemistry between them—and just like that, they became inseparable. From that moment on, it was a whirlwind of laughter, adventures, and countless memories together. Over the years, Mike and Marissa became more than just partners—they became best friends, each other's rock, and the person who makes one another feel at peace. Whether they’re enjoying quiet moments in their new home or getting into some kind of mischief, they knew they were exactly where they were meant to be when they are together. Mike has this incredible ability to make everything better. When they are together, Marissa and Mike feel their best—like they are exactly where they are meant to be. He’s her medicine, safe space, and the person one another turns to for everything. And now, after all the time they’ve spent together and all the ways they’ve grown as individuals and as a couple, they couldn’t imagine spending their lives with anyone else. Here’s to continuing this beautiful adventure with the love of their lives by one another's side—forever and always.
