Angela and Michelle's Wedding in Macon, Georgia

The story of our wedding

It started with a swipe and sushi dinner date a little more than 8 years ago. From there a friendship was formed as well as some feelings. We went our separate ways for a few years but always kept in touch and now know we both felt like the other was the one who got away. We never left each other’s thoughts or hearts. And eventually, we were both single at the same time again. Angela asked whatever happened to us and no matter the answer or why had not stayed together the first time, we knew that we wouldn’t be apart again. We picked right up where we left off and fell in love with each other more than we knew was possible. It immediately felt like we were home. Now almost 4 years after reconnecting, 2 spoiled chihuahuas, an engagement, the most magical wedding, and out of this world honeymoon ever, here we are- submitting our story to you.

The Engagement

Angela proposed to Michelle on the beach in August 2021. We are both space geeks and when we found out there would be a Perseid meteor shower that year, we knew we had to go somewhere dark to see it. We love the beach and know in more secluded beach areas with little light pollution you can have a beautiful view of the night sky. So, we booked a trip and headed down to Jacksonville, Florida. Little did I (Michelle) know that Angela had another surprise waiting. After seeing a few shooting stars, she told me she had something to show me. Side note- Angela loves seashells so I thought she had been sitting beside me digging in the sand and found a seashell- She of ALL people would be able to find a seashell on the beach in the middle of the night watching a meteor shower, but no- I looked over and she knelt in front of me with the most beautiful ring I had ever seen matching the most beautiful smile I’ve ever seen. I said yes and here we are. A few months later I (Michelle) surprised Angela with a proposal using a keychain with the date and location of her proposal.
