Christmas Dinner Party
Story
Mikee was fairly new to California. She was not sure how to meet anyone and decided to try a dating app. Luckily, Tony was also on this dating app and the two met. The two spent weeks talking and getting to know one another. Tony invited Mikee to concerts he was looking forward to before they had even met one another in person.
After talking for weeks, Tony and Mikee finally had their first date. They met at The Outlets of Orange and saw the movie Zootopia, they survived! They went on to have more dates and adventures as they both enjoyed one another’s company. Months later, they made it to the Hillsongs United Concert Tony had invited Mikee to. Here, Tony made it official and asked Mikee to be his girlfriend.
Their adventures continued… Boba dates, traveling, gym dates, living together… Till they had their adventure in Japan. This adventure was one for the books, Tony got down on one knee and proposed to Mikee.

Registry
We have been blessed to have a lot of the "essential" home items a newly married couple needs. We also live in a studio and unfortunately no longer have space for extra items. We hope you find this registry as a way to help us make our perfect honeymoon come true! While we have taken many exciting trips together, we are very much looking forward to our first real adventure as husband and wife. It is because of the lifetime of memories we will gain from this trip that we finally settled on a honeymoon registry. We greatly appreciate and will fondly remember these gifts for years to come.
