Michael and Stephanie met in college at UVA. While Stephanie spent most of her time in the nursing school and hospital, Michael would hunker down in the Engineering buildings. Their paths never would have crossed if not for a crazy bunch of wahoos they called friends.
As years passed, guys and gals in their friend group slowly started dating. It wasn't long until Stephanie and Michael were a few of the last single people in their group. Naturally, their friends gently encouraged them to date. And naturally, both Stephanie and Michael refused.
They graduated from UVA and Michael moved across the country. But, they kept up their friendship. It wasn't until later that Stephanie discovered that she was the only friend from college who was receiving letters.
A year later, Michael moved back to Charlottesville, VA and Stephanie and Michael started catching up in person. The pandemic hit and they decided, what a perfect time to start being more than friends. So they dated.
Two years later, Michael proposes to Stephanie in his quaint, hometown Waterford, VA. She said "yes" of course. They move up to Northern Virginia and started the crazy endeavor called wedding planning. And now we are here. Welcome :)
