forever&always

This story is a modern romance novel that began with two young 16 year olds. Family and friends brought them together, technology along with long car rides kept them connected, and just as their fates and stars aligned as they were always meant to, their spark blossomed into a once in a lifetime love. They were just kids, exploring and laughing, never really knowing what was to come for the future. Portage became Christina’s 2nd home as Rockford became Michael’s. School dances, school sporting events, friends and families all began to intertwine. Then came the next chapter as college and careers took over their late teen/young adult years. All they knew was that whatever came next in life, they wanted each other in it. They were best friends, doing everything in life side by side. Traveling, making memories, and learning how to grow up together. Fast forward 8 years past when their story began, Michael dropped down on a knee in Arizona while visiting Christina’s sister and asked her to marry him! It was the easiest yes of her life! Their wedding will be 6 days past their anniversary of 10 years with one another. An entire decade full of heartfelt bliss and love. They are eagerly awaiting September 26 of 2025 to begin the life they always dreamed of, hand in hand. They will vow to continue living life to the fullest as they take on the next 10 years and the next and the next until death do them part. We are so excited to celebrate our love story with you all and can’t wait to say “I do”!
