HOW WE MET

Michael and I met in fall of 2014, while we were both in college. He lived with a handful of his teammates, which of course, called for a lot of house parties. I ended up at their Halloween party, where Michael and I first laid eyes on each other (we saw each other from across the room, but didn't officially meet). A month or so later, we matched on a dating app. He won me over with his "you look familiar" comment. After a few months of dating, he made it official in February of 2015. We've been inseparable ever since.. .

The Proposal

Christmas Eve 2019

Every Christmas Eve we attend the evening church service at Calvary. My immediate family was there, along with Michael's parents. After church service was over, my mom was determined to take a group photo (knowing Michael's plan). No one really seemed up for the photo, so Michael knew he had to take matters into his own hands. He asked me if I wanted to get a photo with him (which is always an easy yes). After taking a handful photos, Michael dropped to his knee and proposed! Although, he was only down there for a split second since I was so excited and pulled him into my arms right away. It was a moment I will never forget. We were so lucky to be surrounded by family & celebrate this milestone in our relationship! And we are so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with all of you. Can't wait to see you all in Camarillo!
