The Mill Lakeside Manor - Valeri & Mike

Our story❤

Mike liked me in the 6th grade and I didn't even know he existed! He annoyed me in 8th grade as he was trying to flirt. We became friends Junior year of high school and started dating in August 2009. We went to the Senior Prom together and won Prom King and Queen. The rest is history. We have been together ever since, a month shy of 13 years. We took a trip driving from San Diego to San Francisco and on one of the stops in Monterey, Mike proposed to me on the hotel balcony overlooking the water. I had no idea it was coming even though we had been together for 9 years already. We have been through a lot together and supported each other along the way as both of us started our careers in healthcare and law enforcement. We bought our first home in 2020. It has been a long time coming and we are so excited to get married and celebrate at the greatest venue ever, The Mill! We are looking forward to our honeymoon in Hawaii and to just grow together and enjoy each other's company.
