Acquaintance at Work Leads to Marriage for Massage Envy Therapists

Jennifer Smith and Jason Michaels met at the Massage Envy clinic in Rowlett where they work. The rest, as the saying goes, is history.

“We started getting to know each other because we had many shifts that overlapped,” Jennifer said. “I was drawn to the fact that he was so nice and treated me and everyone with respect. He was also very honest and ethical, and never spoke badly of people behind their backs.”

“I wasn't really looking for a relationship, I was focused on my career,” Jason recalls. “She was pretty, friendly and seemed like a nice person. The more I got to know her the more I realized we had a lot in common.”

After about two months they went on their first real date -- a great dinner and a nice evening. Both started to wonder if this could be something more.

When they went to church together, “that's when I knew there was a deep connection starting to form,” Jason said.

“I love his smile and his laugh,” Jennifer said, “He stays positive about life. He also treats me like nobody else ever has, and I can feel how much he loves me.”

For Jason, “I love Jennifer's eyes and her laughter. She helps me relax and stay focused on the things in life that are truly important. She has a gentle but firm way that I appreciate so much.”

The couple picked out a ring in June of 2008. “I was saving up all of my cash tips to pay for it,” Jason recalls. “I finally got it [the ring] paid off about a year later, and was looking for the perfect moment to propose.”

Jason asked Jennifer’s parents for their permission after he made the final payment on the ring. He proposed on the Friday before Labor Day weekend.

“We went to the pond down the street from my home to relax and feed the ducks,” Jennifer remembers. “He was standing there and turned and asked, ‘how much do you love me?’ Then before I knew it he got down on one knee and pulled out a box with a ring in it and put it on my finger. I was so excited that all I said was ‘Jason,’ and gave him a big hug. He asked if that was a yes and I just nodded my head and started to cry.”

“I caught her off guard because I had told her that I couldn’t pay off the ring till late September,” Jason said. “I wanted the proposal to be a surprise. I had butterflies in my stomach and was stressed, but didn't really realize it until after she said yes. Then I was finally able to breathe and relax.”

Jennifer and Jason were married May 16, 2009 in Bonham, Texas, at her parents’ ranch house. The couple traveled to San Antonio by train for their honeymoon along the River Walk.

Rick and April Klics, owners of the Massage Envy clinic in Rowlett, gave the newlyweds the trip as a wedding gift. “The Klics are awesome people,” Jennifer said.

Jennifer describes their relationship as blissful. “Jason is a great guy and I am so happy I found him. I went looking for a job, and instead I found a career and a life,” she said.

“She's fun to be around, and is my best friend,” Jason says of Jennifer. “I hope it stays this way forever.”
