We met on October 26, 2002. Two of our dearest friends, Tom and Stacy, introduced us. They insisted for 2 months that we meet and we finally did. Little did we know that we would be getting married 5 years later! On June 29th, 2007 Cory proposed to me floating in a hot air ballon above the Napa Valley in Calistoga, California...our fav place in the world. There was a huge banner below us on the ground that read, "Michelle, I love you. Will you marry me?" It was such a surprise!! I was crying and trembling and felt like I was dreaming. We have this magical moment caught on tape. It is a moment we will cherish forever! I feel like the most fortunate woman in the world to be marrying Cory! Emma, Caleb, and I are so blessed to have him. He is the most amazing person EVER!

We are getting married on Saturday, April 19th, 2008 in Negril Jamaica at Couples Swept Away! We have always known that when we got married we would do it on a beach somewhere...in paradise! There is nothing like having our toes in the sand, the warm sun, and the ocean breeze... Very intimate and romantic=)

We just want to thank you all for your wonderful support over the years. Doing long distance for 2 1/2 years was not easy. I know that my family and friends watched me shed MANY tears and gave me lots of comforting hugs to help me through those days. But finally, we are together and feel very fortunate for the obstacles we have overcome! We are looking forward to beginning this new wonderful chapter in our lives.

Tom and Stac...THANK YOU so much!!!
