OUR LOVE STORY 🥹↓
I've been married to my husband, Michael, for almost 6 years! The time has flown by!! I wanted to share more of our love story of how we met, got engaged, and got married 🥰
Michael and I met through church! Specifically at a church cookout over spikeball is when we were introduced. I immediately thought he was way too cute to not already have a girlfriend. Turns out, I was wrong, and a few months later we started dating after becoming close friends! Our first date was at a local ice cream store, Graeter's!
We got engaged after 1 years and 3 months of dating, and married only 7 months later!! Michael proposed in the spot where we had our first dance together during a date - at church in an upstairs room! He got me to think I was surprising MY friend by taking her to this room, but it was actually all decorated for our proposal!! Thankfully, he had my sister & friends bring some outfit choices & hair/makeup stuff, because I was walking in with 4 day greasy hair & leggings. 😂
7 months later, We had a beautiful outdoor July wedding (really took a chance there) that was in the 70s and a bright sunny day. I had my DREAM photographer, and as a result, I only spent $300 on my wedding dress. 😂 WORTH IT. We got married at only 20 & 21 years old, so we opted for sparkling apple cider at our wedding, haha. The song on this post was our first dance song. :)
Because we got married so young, we both had two years of college left! We lived in a tiny 600 square foot apartment and shared a car for those two years. We have such fond memories of that season!!
I am truly so blessed to be married to my best friend! Michael is an incredible father to our girls, my biggest supporter, and I can't imagine doing life without him. .kase
