In their own words

Q: How did you meet?

A: Cassey and Michael met at White Knoll Middle School through mutual soccer friends. But it wasn’t until their junior year of high school that they really hit it off.

They were at the Brookland Cayce vs. White Knoll High School football game. Cassey was still on crutches from her knee surgery, and Michael just happened to sit beside her in the students section. After jumping around after a touchdown, Michael nearly knocked Cassey off the bleachers and after a quick and spastic chain of events, Cassey punched Michael in the lip.

They have been inseparable ever since.

Q: Tell us about the proposal.

A: Michael waited patiently at their rented house one evening for Cassey to walk in the back door from work. He set up a tripod with a video camera ready to go and tied the engagement ring on a string around the neck of their bloodhound, Elly, because he knew Elly would greet Cassey at the door. He waited around the corner in the family room.

Cassey said, “Is this a joke?”

Once he convinced her he was serious, she said yes.

Q: What was your favorite part of the wedding day?

A: The honeymoon!
