Tracy and Michael are so adorable! They are having 2 wedding ceremonies this October! They are honoring Tracy’s Chinese culture and having a traditional Tea Ceremony and then a few days later they are having a small brunch wedding aboard the Spirit of Norfolk! We had a great time wandering through the botanical gardens and strolling on the beach. I loved their energy and how they always seemed to make each other laugh.
Tracy and Michael met in the spring of 2008 at work. They connected over anime and started as friends, drifted apart for a little, but they eventually found their way back to each other as friends again. Their friendship became more when Michael asked Tracy out after they went to see a showing of Warm Bodies in 2013. Their first date and first kiss was at the Macaroni Grill. They are each other’s best friend, connecting over a shared love of cats, fantasy, Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars. Michael introduced Tracy to Magic: The Gathering, Pathfinder, and D&D. Tracy introduced Michael to going on cruises, Dune, and a bunch of interesting movies and shows she keeps borrowing from the library.
After 10 years of dating and adventures together, Michael finally popped the question after their anniversary brunch at the Sweetwater Cuisine. Michael was trying to find the “right” moment to propose. It wasn’t until they got back to his truck, and he was so nervous, he could not get the question out and could only open the ring box. Tracy was surprised, could not get her answer out, but answered with a kiss! How cute!?
