It all began during the Fall, the bride's favorite season.  In October 2019, Michael reached out to Areana to reconnect after being estranged for years. Despite not wanting to go out after a busy work/school day, she agreed to meet him. Even after Michael mistakenly pulled into the wrong driveway, she was glad she did.  They went to her favorite local bar, Shannon Rose, where they talked for hours, losing track of time.

From that night on, they were inseparable. Talking, hanging out, and Face-Timing every day. On Halloween night, they both realized they couldn't go a day without each other.

Over the next six amazing years, they shared countless adventures, travels, hard work, and cherished memories. Michael then proposed at their favorite place, Aruba on the beach. They said "yes" to a lifetime of laughter, travel, and love as soulmates.

Now, they're planning their dream wedding on the beach, ready to embark on this beautiful journey together.
