“Hi, we are Michelle + Monica, AKA Mary + Ronda.

We are a lesbian age gap couple from smack-dab in the middle of Michigan. We have 25 years between us and it's not something we notice anymore. We eloped in northern Michigan in June 2023.

As a couple, we enjoy camping, rock hunting, drinking beer at microbreweries, visiting beach towns along the michigan shoreline, laughing until they can’t breathe, sending each other songs for our playlist, bird watching, having campfires, going on walks, paddleboarding and kayaking, dancing in the kitchen and the bedroom and the street...pretty much dancing in general, and hanging out with our family and friends.”

Monica takes way too many photos and videos and Michelle is often rolling her eyes. They enjoy time with the kids (and grandkids!) and doing home improvement projects together. Together they are learning to communicate better, overcome trauma and learned behaviors and age-gap specific issues, and build a family around them along the way.

Michelle and Monica grew up in different worlds, were raised differently and have lived their lives in much different ways, but together they've built bridges and trust, found peace and safety, manifested a beautiful future and are working together towards the same goal.

Together, they have built this growing community through Instagram and TikTok and have met many friends in real life, who have become framily, and will continue to meet more souls who find safety here.
