Mike and I met at Blink Fitness at the beginning of 2020 and were working together shortly before the world shut down. We were coworkers at that time and didn't know much about each other; other than the fact we both had a love for health & wellness. When everything started to slowly reopen later in the summer of 2020, I decided to go back to the gym and continue to work. Mike did not, and I didn't see him again.

Fast forward to the fall of 2023, Mike and I reconnected through social media. We had each other on Instagram since 2020, but we liked each others pictures here and there and that was all it was. He decided to shoot his shot and slide into my DMs one day in reply to a picture I posted of myself to my story saying "Stunna" and I thought it was hilarious but was also intrigued. I looked really hot in that picture too so I can't blame him! I thought he was cute and we started talking more over the course of a couple months.

December 2023 comes around, and we have our first date at Shadybrook Farm in Yardley, PA. Christmas is my favorite time of year, as it is Mike's also. We walked around Shadybrook and got pretzels/hot chocolate, and we talked a lot. About what we were currently doing, where we wanted to be in life, and what we wanted for ourselves. It was a very nice, festive first date! (Mike loves Blink182 and the song that was playing in the car at one point was "First Date" which I thought was so cute and fitting for the occasion".

We ended up going to Christmas Village in Philly exactly a week from our first date, and Mike asked me to be his girlfriend! It was the sweetest way of him to ask - at one of the prettiest Christmasy spots in Philly, during our most favorite time of the year.

Mike and I spent the next year from December 2023 to December 2024 learning more about each other, spending time doing the things we enjoy, and loving each other more each day. We spent lots of time with our friends, family, attended many concerts (which WE LOVE by the way!), dinner dates, and nights at home. Mike moved into my apartment back in June 2025, and we are currently looking for a new apartment together - our first official apartment this year in 2026!

On December 1 2024, Mike and I went to Shadybrook Farm, where we had our first date. I suspected something was up early in the day and I knew he was going to propose soon, if not that day. We went into the little walk-through area that they have where you can see the Christmas lights and decorations - and sure enough he got down on one knee and proposed. I was a little surpised but so happy and said YES!

The both of us are looking forward to tying the knot and sharing our special day with our closest family and friends.
