View StoryMoney called the day a “dream come true,” and revealed it almost didn’t happen.
They met through mutual friends in 2016, but she said that she always thought of Mike as her “forever boyfriend.”
“We spent the first five years of our relationship with the understanding that we would never get married,” she said. “He was my forever boyfriend and vice versa. After my daughter Brielle got into a really bad longboarding accident where she almost lost her life, I started seeing things differently.”

Michelle continued, “It became so clear to me that Mike was more to me than just a forever boyfriend. He was the most incredible support to me and Brielle through the hardest time of my life. It brought us closer together in a way I had never experienced, and marriage seemed like a beautiful commitment that I wanted to make to him. Now we can't believe we considered not getting married. He truly is the love of my life!”
The athlete proposed in January while on a trip to New Zealand, and Michelle shared, “We took a helicopter to the top of a glacier where the most incredible glacier lake was. He got down on a knee and asked me to marry him there on the glacier. It was incredible.”
