The Bride Michelle Vasilikis, 34 The Groom Rod MacKenzie, 30 The Date September 26 Even though Rod and Michelle grew up in the same small town, it took one car and a few bumps in the road to bring these two together. It all started when Rod bought a car from one of Michelle's friend's, James. James and Rod became fast friends, and Michelle was introduced to Rod at a party at her house. After one evening of festivities with Michelle and friends, Rod hit a deer and totaled the fateful car. The next day, Michelle called to check on him, and they've been together ever since. While in Jamaica for Rod's birthday, he got down on one knee and asked Michelle to be his bride.
