Story

I remember the first time I saw her, I was on Myspace! I thought she was cute, so I sent her a message. I really liked her contacts and hair (LOL), but I wanted to see if she was datable, if she had a man. It was June or July and I guess she didn’t want to talk to me until God stepped in because she decided to respond late July or early August. Now I may have sent a message or two, she says it was three but eventually she finally had time for me.

We messaged back and forth for a while, and I finally asked for her number. I couldn’t pronounce her name, so I remember texting her to let her know that’s why I hadn’t called, and she called me. We laughed, I guess that tickled her! She sort of liked me back then, I was as she says, “sweet as pie”.

August 24, 2007 I was supposed to go see her for the 1st time and my car was giving me issues. I was so upset and frustrated and I remember her telling me “it’ll be ok, I’ll come see you”. After her movie date with her mom and aunt she came to see me, we watched a movie and yes it was well before ‘Netflix & Chill’. We did a little ‘DVD & Chill’ and the rest is history, she’s been by my side ever since.

Tidbits

How did you first meet?

See Our Story!

Who said ‘I Love You’ first?

I (Kasia) honestly think I did first. Although I believe he said it in an e-card way before I verbally spoke it. He used to always send me e-cards! Awww can I get an e-card for old times sake..

What was your most memorable date?

We spent one of our first dates in Galveston, TX! I remember walking across the boardwalk holding hands trying to find the perfect place to watch the fireworks. I was hoping he kissed me during the firework show all romantical like they do in the movies and he did. Over a decade later that kiss has me changing my last name September 29, 2019!

Who is the biggest baby when they get sick?

For sure HIM! I can’t deal.. I’m sure he says the same about me. I’ll update this question with his response momentarily.

Who made the first move? How?

Sooo which first move we talking?! I (Mike) made the first move when I texted her asking how to pronounce her name? I (Kasia) made the first move and decided to kiss him because he was scared, lol. Love you babe!

Who is the better driver?

I am! Cut it.... I am!

Clearly we both think we are the better driver I guess that’s why passenger seat driving has us arguing all the time. But know I (Kasia) can never close my eyes and take a nap with him driving😜

Who's going to take out the trash?

She tries but I never let her.

.....his favorite line is “I got that trash”!

What's the most memorable trip you have taken together?

NOLA! New Orleans owes us NADA from Bourbon Street, drinking in the street, drive-through daiquiri shops, horse and carriage ride through French Quarter, eating lunch on the rooftop, see the tragedy from Hurricane Katrina but also witnessing the rebuild and falling more and more in love.

What’s your favorite TV show you watch together?

We have so many but Dick Wolf is the GOAT! Some of our absolute favorites are Law & Order SVU, Chicago PD, Chicago Fire & Chicago Med.

Who is more likely to get lost?

Kasia hands down! ....I’m horrible at directions so without my GPS it’s over. He will let me drive right past the turn and ask “where you going”?

Who will cry on the big day?

BOTH of us! We truly love one another so much so we already know what’s up..

Where are you going for your honeymoon?

🇯🇲 You can find us in Jamaica Mon on a resort for 8 days soaking up the sun & rum!
