Leslie and Michael might have been destined to have their intimate Westin hotel wedding on the weekend when a hurricane is headed their way. It’s too funny that 4 years ago today Leslie posted a photo about how Hurricane Michael was pushing the Tropical storm Leslie north, and just like the weather Leslie moved north from Houston after reconnecting with Michael <3 I seriously love when the universe shows signs that things are happening just the way they were intended to be…Not to mention had been in the works for 30 years!
Leslie and Mike’s “meet cute” as the movies would call it was when Leslie was 13 and Mike was 19, playing in a band with her brother in their basement. Leslie said she was the annoying little sister. She thought he was so cute and Mike had no idea who she was. They reconnected via Facebook about 30 years later when Leslie was in Houston and Mike was in Annapolis. Phone chats led to a visit in Houston where they met face-to-face and their adventures began! Four years later – here they are in Annapolis about to get married back where it all started when they were teens! (Every so often Mike realizes the circle of events and says “I’m about to marry Eric Fredenburghs little sister…. And Leslie says “I’m about to marry THE one and only Mike McClare!!!)
