Michelle & Alex met on Bumble. They talked for about three weeks, then met on March 24th at Cask Downtown Tampa. Their absolute best memory was their second date- Downtown St. Petersburg, FL at Red Mesa.♥️ Alex proposed at Safety Harbor in the Safety Harbor Park, near the water and Safety Harbor Pier after one of our favorite restaurants. Michelle still cries every time thinking of it, the stone in her ring, is Alex’s mom’s stone. She passed away when he was 21. Michelle feels so grateful and loved. 🥰
What do you love about each other?
I love how caring Alex is; he takes care of me all the time and supports me. He is always there when I need him as my fiancé and as my best friend. He takes such good care of me prepping my coffee each night for the next day, making me dinners literally every night- I love that he enjoys me helping him. I am learning as I go when I cook 🤣 I love how he has taught me to be more courageous and to try many new things in life!
As for Michelle (written by Alex)…
I know it is cliché to say but Michelle is without a doubt my better half. She is strong where I am weak, and she is always there for me when I need her. We have been there together for each other through not only the great times but also the bad. I always joke that if we can get through surviving Covid together in a small one-bedroom apartment, we can get through anything together. Not only are we lovers but we are best friends and spend as much time as we can doing things together.
and here’s the sweetest thing Michelle let us know…
Describe the overall story for your wedding:
I (Michelle) never in my life thought I would ever get the opportunity to be planning such a beautiful wedding in my life. It is not about all the glam and glitter in my life, but on this day, I am fortunate and beyond blessed that it can be filled with love. I really mean it-never did I think I could have my day!
Michelle & Alex’ wedding day was pure magic! With lots of coral, navy blue with a rustic/country vibe. Rustic wood and brick with inspirations of a simpler life. We loved how Michelle & Alex kept it a little like the “older day” when the bride & groom were married on a Chapel. Michelle & Alex wrote their own vows and celebrated their love with a unity candle during the Ceremony. We also loved how they incorporated their loved ones who have passed with a beautiful “memory table” at the Ceremony entrance ♥️
We so enjoyed celebrating these two beautiful souls and wish them both a lifetime of happiness and many more sweet memories together 🥂
