Fun Facts: Mike and Ladona said "I do" in one of the world's most beautiful locations. The incredible beaches of Kauai. Hawaii provided a stunning backdrop for this couple's special day.

After running a successful small business for over a decade, Ladona was ready for something new. She needed to pivot toward a life filled with adventure and new horizons. She had built a thriving career but yearned for a partner to share her love of travel and new experiences. 

Her ideal life included a vision of retiring with the love of her life, so she decided to get to work on making it a reality. The idea of matchmaking felt like a leap of faith—just the kind of risk-taking that matched her adventurous spirit.

Ladona’s matchmakers quickly understood her vibrant personality. They sought someone honest, financially stable, and fun-loving; someone who valued family but could also embrace Ladona’s free-spirited nature. Enter Mike, a devoted grandfather with a laid-back demeanor and a knack for adapting to anything life had to throw his way.

Mike had moved to Idaho to be closer to his son and grandkids, and family was at the center of his life. While he enjoyed the quiet moments, he was also open to trying new things. His steady and grounded presence was an immediate contrast to Ladona’s high-energy approach to life—but their matchmakers saw something special in the way their personalities complemented each other.

When they met, Ladona and Mike saw why their matchmaker thought they would be a great pairing. They experienced the magic that happens when compatibility meets good, old-fashioned mutual interest. 

The two quickly bonded over their shared love of good food, music, and family. As they spent more time together, Ladona showed Mike her adventurous side, and he gave her a sense of calm she hadn’t realized she needed. 

When the two of them decided to go from dating to something more serious, it wasn’t a difficult decision at all. When they decided to go from serious partners to husband and wife, it was an even easier choice.

In their married life, Mike’s love and support have made Ladona feel truly cared for. Together, they created a partnership that blended her sense of adventure with his steady presence, building a life full of love and understanding.
