#MariMe

They had both all but given up on dating, strongly doubting the possibility of ever finding someone who shared the same faith, outlook on life, and adventurous hobbies. That all changed after one night at the rock-climbing gym where they met on June 6, 2023. There was an instant connection that transcended time. Michelle was so wrapped-up in the conversation (and maybe a tiny bit nervous) that she even forgot to clip in and secure herself to the wall, utterly horrifying Nick! Needless to say, she landed on her feet and the rest is history! Less than three months later, he proposed on a mountain top in the Shenandoah Valley and she said, “YES!”.
