Groom & Bride
Michael Vanderhoff
“Hey, I’m Michael! I’m originally from Reno and love working with and around technology. Sydney and I met via Bumble, and I instantly knew they were something special because of their strength and nurturing approach when it comes to others. I love how Sydney always pushes me to pursue my goals and challenge myself, and I can’t wait to share this next chapter with her. I’m beyond excited to celebrate our love with all of you at our wedding!”
Sydney Shoopman
“Hello, I’m Sydney! I grew up in West Chester and have always had a passion for interior design. Michael and I crossed paths on Bumble, and from the very beginning, I knew we had something extraordinary. Michael’s patience and compassionate nature makes him the perfect partner for me, and I’m thrilled to tie the knot surrounded by our friends and family!”

The Big Day
Our Love Story
Every great love story has its moments—here are the ones that shaped ours.
First Time We "Met"
September 30, 2022
Michael and Sydney’s love story began with a chance encounter on an online dating service. Michael was the first to come across Sydney’s profile and was immediately drawn to it. After they both liked each other, the conversation flowed effortlessly, and it wasn’t long before they were planning their first date!
Our First Date
October 9, 2022
Their first date took place at a cozy local coffee shop in Fairfield. What started off a little awkward soon blossomed into laughter, shared moments, and a feeling of something special. By the end of the date, they had already made plans for the next one.
Our Marriage Proposal
February 10, 2024
While attending the Loveland Hearts Afire Festival, Michael seized the perfect moment to propose to Sydney. Her initial reaction was one of surprise and near disbelief, quickly turning to excitement as the reality set in—their future was unfolding right before their eyes, and they were ready to embrace it together.
