With coordinate nouns (Michelle and Tom in this case), the last noun takes the possessive form to indicate joint possession.

Exactly.

You don't say "Dave's & Buster's", but "Dave & Buster's",

Another example


Or you could try:

"All of your weddings are belong to Tom and Michele".

Go with Mosh's suggestion
