Our story began at Coral Reef Sr. High School as two young adults. Unknowing of what the future holds, destiny found its way to bind us together. After our first date at the Florida Grand Opera watching the Magic Flute, we knew that the sound of music would surround our lives forever. While Michael went on to pursue his Bachelor’s of Music & Physics at Stetson University, and Alicia to the University of Florida for her Bachelor’s in Health Science, the long-distance journey began. With every opportunity, we continually travelled back and forth between schools, for we would not dare let distance nor time bend our love for each other. Even when Michael continued his pursuit at Louisiana State University for his Master’s in Vocal Performance while Alicia pursued her Doctorate of Physical Therapy at the University of St. Augustine, the traveling never halted, and our relationship only grew stronger and brighter despite the challenges that life brought us. We are grateful for our families who instilled such grand morals and love in our hearts, and for our friends who were always there to laugh with us (and at us).
