Claudia & Michael VIENNA PROPOSAL, TORONTO VOWS AND LOVE AROUND THE GLOBE

There’s no doubt that for Claudia Ramirez and Michael Shepard, trusting their hearts and following their dreams has led to a magical romance, wedding celebrations that showcased not only their love for one another but also their love of travel, and a two-part extended honeymoon that circled the planet.

BLISSFUL BEGINNINGS Claudia and Michael discovered each other on line. Michael declares that he spent a lot of time searching for his dream and finally found her! When they met in person and looked into one another’s eyes, they paused for a moment, struck by instant chemistry. Michael shares that he never expected to fall in love at first sight but that snowy evening quickly turned magical. Claudia and Michael went out for dinner and within 20 minutes of their first encounter, the restaurant hostess commented that they were “such a cute couple”! Her intuition was totally accurate — although dessert wasn’t flambé, things were igniting! By the end of the meal Michael made a bold move, holding Claudia’s hand. Later that evening she was thinking that it was entirely possible that this handsome, smart and funloving man was her soul mate.
