We First Met
A Message That Started It All
What began as a simple conversation quickly became a meaningful connection. Neither of us realized how important that first exchange would become. Looking back, it was the first line of our story.
Two people who didn't just fall in love.
They found their way back.
October 17, 2026
Begin Our Story
Every love story is different.
Ours simply took the scenic route.
We met on an online dating site and spent hours talking before we ever met in person.
Our first date almost never happened. Roger thought he had accidentally double-booked the evening and called to cancel. Michelle calmly corrected him—and the evening that almost wasn't became the beginning of everything.
Dinner at Il Vicino was followed by a night at the Port of Wichita, where, by pure coincidence (or perhaps not), they met Michelle's mother, father, and brother—all in the same evening.
What Roger remembers most wasn't the restaurant or the unexpected introductions.
It was Michelle's kindness.
Over time, personal struggles forced them apart, but some stories are simply unfinished.
Eventually, they found their way back to one another.
This chapter is forever.
OUR JOURNEY
Every great love story has a beginning.
Ours has two.

Life Took Us Different Directions
Seasons changed and life pulled us into separate chapters. We kept growing through experiences neither of us could have predicted. Even then, the story between us was not over.
Reconnected
During Covid life brought us back together. The connection was immediate and deeply familiar. While it took some time to rebuild trust, this time, we recognized what we had.
Fell In Love Again
Love returned with clarity, intention, and peace. We learned to build something stronger than before. Every day confirmed we were exactly where we were meant to be.
Engagement
One question, "Will you marry me again?" changed everything in the best way. The answer was immediate and full of joy. From that moment on, we knew we would be together forever.
