Carey and Michele met in May 2004 through PlanetOut.com. “Michele and I had both been actively meeting people online for a few months. In fact, just before we met, I had been corresponding online with four different women named Michele!” At their first meeting, Carey says she was instantly attracted to Michele. “The first thing that went through my mind was: I am going to marry this woman.” Michele proposed to Carey the following year in a hotel room in San Francisco. “She was on a business trip and I flew in for the weekend to visit her. Her plan was to propose in the Japanese Gardens the next day, but she was too excited and ended up proposing to me the night I arrived. She had called my parents a few days before to let them know she was planning to propose, which I thought was really sweet.”
They had their wedding at The Satisfied Frog in Cave Creek, Arizona. “They have a gorgeous outdoor courtyard area, with a large white party tent. We were married on a wooden bridge over a small pond, under the stars.” They have plans to get pregnant or may look into adoption in the next couple of years. “We know we want one child for sure. I may be able to talk Michele into two.”
