Of course, this article wouldn’t be complete without hearing the man’s perspective. Knowing Michael Fox is a talented storyteller, we wanted to let him gush freely and in his own words about newlywed life with Brooke. So here’s what The Mister had to say (prepare to swoon!): Styled Right: How did you meet Brooke? What was your first impression of her? Michael Fox: I first met Brooke in 2009 at a happy hour event she was hosting. I was there covering the story for work. My first impression was, “Damn, this girl is sexy. She has a cute nose ring, nice curves, a great smile, and she seems to be flirting with me.” SR: Score! When did you first realize you wanted to marry her? MF: I honestly can’t remember the ONE moment when I knew I wanted to marry her. The moment I knew I loved her more than anyone I had ever laid eyes on was when we were
struggling to summit Mt. St. Helens on a horrible weather day. For some reason, I told myself on that day that I wanted to die married to this woman. SR: How involved were you in the wedding planning? MF: I wanted pizza as a late night snack, I wanted to pay tribute to our grandparents in some way, and I wanted to have a ring on my finger by the end of the evening. Beyond that, I learned quickly to say, “Yes, I really like that.” SR: What is the best part of being married? MF: Coming home each day and laying eyes on the woman I love. SR: Has your style changed since you started dating Brooke? MF: I now wear mismatched socks every day. SR: How would you describe Brooke’s style? MF: Versatile and beautiful. Cont’d page 49
