How Our Story Began
Josh and Michelle met in the middle of October, 2016, through mutual friends and a shared childhood home of Bradenton, FL. Over the next year, Josh made several attempts to make small talk, casually obtaining her number and finding opportunities to hang out during the summer of 2017. Once Josh transferred to the University of Central Florida, where Michelle was already a student, they quickly became close friends. Soon, Josh insisted they get frozen yogurt to “get to know each other” without their friends around, which eventually led to their first dinner date on 10/7/17. He had no plan—just a crush and a few restaurant options—completely unaware of how indecisive Michelle could be about dinner choices. That date was the beginning of many more to follow.
Together, they have shared countless adventures filled with memories, unconditional love, and, most importantly, laughter. Years after that first date, their bond has only grown stronger, and they are thrilled to embark on their journey as husband and wife.
From Bradenton to Orlando and Back
Our wedding is heavily inspired by our hometown, the place we met, and our favorite season.
