Michael and Vanessa first met at the wedding of her sister and his childhood friend’s wedding.

They struck up a conversation and immediately connected through their shared sense of humor. They had their first date shortly after on October 13th at Knott’s Scary Farm and the rest was history, as they say.

It has been a tradition to go every year since but never had they been able to go again on October 13th until 2023.

Just one day shy of their anniversary date, Michael surprised Vanessa and popped the question. She said yes, but depending on who you ask, the way she said yes will vary.

From special museum exhibits, theme parks, vacations, concerts and the ups and downs of life, their relationship grew stronger and fuller. It was inevitable that the journey would lead here to their wedding day and beyond.

It’s been a fun and memorable 12 years and they can’t wait to start the next adventure on October 26th.
