It is always great when your partner shares the same passion as you. Meoka and Michael met at a party, but their love for each other developed out of a mutual passion for softball! This All-Star couple incorporated their love for the sport with a baseball themed e-session. Cathi Milanes of Milanes Photography, knocked it out of the park with Meoka and Michael’s urban, sexy and fun engagement shoot!

How They Met
Mike and I crossed paths at my best friends birthday party 4 years ago. During the party we had a casual conversation, but that would be the extent of it. A few months later I got assigned to the same squadron that Mike was assigned to. We would see each other here and there in the organization, but still only engage in casual conversation. This went on for some time until we both started playing our favorite sport of softball. After being around Mike on a daily basis for 2 years playing the game that we loved, our relationship blossomed into more than a friendship.
The Proposal
Mike proposed to me on the weekend prior to his deployment to Afghanistan. He and I were on a romantic weekend getaway at one of your favorite hotels. While sitting on the balcony overlooking the harbor, I turned around to him on one knee as he began expressing his love for me and his desire to make me his wife. Of course I accepted, and the rest is history….
You Make Loving You So Easy
From the Groom…I could take the easy way out and say I love her obvious beauty, but that wouldn’t be enough. What I love the most is her drive to excel at everything she does. When she takes on a task you know you will get nothing but her best. She is the most dependable loving person person I know.
From the Bride…There are many things that I love about him, but one that sticks out the most is his love for his children. I remember vividly the first time that his kids came to visit. There was so much love flowing from all of them, it was beyond priceless. I knew at that moment, he was not only an awesome father, but a great man.
If you are as dependent on your smartphone and apps as much as I am, you’re going to love Tie the Knot App, which gives couples the chance to create their very own iphone app + custom website to store and share information about their big day. With Tie the Knot, your guests will have access to info about the wedding party, weekend events, hotel accommodations, and the gift registry right at their fingertips, and the best part is its completely free.
Typical approach. Not bad but also not inspiring.
I dont think the meeting or proposal is a competition for the most inspiring. Beautiful couple..God bless them!
