Fitz & K. Michelle: The Origin Story
Kortney and Fitz, two pastors navigating the digital age, found love in the unlikeliest of places: Instagram. Their paths had crossed a few times in ministry circles, but it wasn't until a casual conversation about beach vacations that their connection sparked. From their first phone call, which amazingly stretched into the wee hours, they knew they had something special. Fitz was captivated by Kortney's warmth and amazing mind, while she was drawn to his genuine kindness and passionate spirit. Distance couldn't dampen their ever growing affection, and their first date in Phoenix was absolute perfection. The night was filled with laughter, amazing food, and a soundtrack of old-school R&B that felt like a "home". After months of long-distance love, Fitz surprised Kortney with a trip to meet her parents and seek her father's blessing. The next night, under the soft glow of candlelight, he proposed. It was a moment full of joy and excitement. Their love story is a blend of faith, friendship, and fun. Both a little nerdy with a healthy dose of sarcasm, their shared passion for ministry and unwavering belief in God keep them grounded.

FAQs
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
For our wedding, we invite you to embrace a semi-formal dress code, striking the perfect balance between elegance and comfort. For the gentlemen, this means a tux, suit or blazer with dress pants, paired with a crisp dress shirt. Ties are optional but add a touch of sophistication. Think classic colors and polished shoes to complete the look. For the ladies, we suggest gowns, cocktail dresses, elegant skirts, or dressy jumpsuits in fabrics like silk, chiffon, or lace. Consider subtle, refined accessories and heels or dressy flats to compliment your ensemble.
