Marsha: We met in 2009 waiting tables at a NYC West Village bistro. Michael was the only shining light in the most horrible of jobs. His jokes and charm got me through each shift.
Saja: How did he propose?
Marsha: It was Christmastime 2013 and we had just finished unwrapping gifts from each other. Then Michael left the room and came back and said, "I have one more tiny gift". He got down on one knee and the rest is history.
Marsha: It took place on June 27, 2015 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I'm originally from Santa Fe but moved to NYC for college in 2001. All my family lives in New Mexico and it's just a really gorgeous city to have a wedding in.
Saja: Is there anything you can point out about your pictures that we might not have noticed?
Marsha: Santa Fe is normally a really sunny city. However on our wedding day there were some crazy storm clouds gathering just before the ceremony - I think you can tell from the lighting. The crazy thing was that as soon as the ceremony was over and we were being escorted out of the ceremony space by the mariachi band, that's when the rain started to come. The rain held out just for us.
Marsha: I know its cliche to say but the entire day was perfect but I have one great memory: I remember being really nervous walking down the aisle with the my parents and I couldn't see Michael until we rounded the corner. As soon as I saw him, my nerves evaporated and I knew I was home.
Marsha: My favorite photo is the one where Michael is holding me. I think it perfectly captures our playfulness as a couple. There hasn't been a day in our relationship when he hasn't made me laugh.
