WHERE IT ALL BEGAN.
It has been said that, “The best relationships always begin as friendships.” This could not be more true for our love story.
Mei and Mikey first met in the hallways of Broadview Middle School in the 6th grade of their hometown of Danbury, CT. One of the earliest encounters also included karate classes at the former Connecticut Martial Arts.
Staying true to his comedic nature, Mikey finessed Mei into getting her phone number. This was the start of nightly phone calls that lasted until finally moving in together in their 20’s. It was not until their sophomore year of high school when they officially began dating.
After graduating high school, both attended Western Connecticut State University. Mikey graduated with his Bachelor’s of Business Administration in Accounting. Mei went on to practice as a Licensed Practical Nurse and then to further complete her Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing through Capella University.
With both sharing a love of travel, Mei and Mikey have spent much of their relationship exploring the many islands of the Caribbean, the rich history of Europe, and reliving their childhood through Disney World Parks.
It is no surprise that their engagement would occur abroad in one of their favorite countries of Spain. During a New Years trip, Mikey proposed on January 5th, 2022 in Seville, Spain. They spent the rest of their vacation celebrating their engagement in the city of love - Paris, France.
Mei and Mikey will be celebrating their nuptials on their 16th anniversary, on May 27th, 2023.
