Plan as if you were inviting people into your own home. Create a cozy ambiance, have a great meal, good music and a smooth flow in between events. Your guests will be in a great mood and so will you!” Cassandre & Marie-Michèle | February 20, 2016 How They Met | Cassandre and Marie-Michèle met in high school through a mutual friend. Although Marie-Michèle graduated first—they were one year apart—she and Cassandre were able to stay close thanks to her involvement coaching the school’s basketball team. After Cassandre asked Marie-Michèle to be her prom date, they officially started dating. Ten years later, they celebrated their nuptials on their anniversary.
