As you can imagine, we're a modern day app dating success story....We matched on bumble and Mike planned a fun first date of mini golfing.

When they arrived to meet for the first time, Mike realized the mini golf course was closed and instead of impressing Alexandra with his mad mini golfing skills, he'd have to instead dazzle her with his sparkling personality as they decided to go for a long walk around the lake at the nearby park instead.

They instantly connected over their love of of comic book characters, dungeons and dragons lore, and of course Mike was immediately captivated by Alexandra's use of the phrase, "Watch me seduce you with my awkwardness"

Mike was determined to see this girl again and planned a fantastic second date where he took the pretty Jewish girl to look at Christmas lights.

Since then, it seems like the theme of their relationship has been just roll with it. It's a theme that served them well throughout covid and various challenges that life has thrown at them.

But through it all, they've fallen deeper and deeper in love. Mike constantly finds himself telling people how lucky he is to have a smart and talented young lady in his life like Alexandra who he believes is the most selfless, loving and caring person he's ever met. And Alexandra will brag about the endlessly enthusiastic, kind, and caring person who can always reach the top shelf.

We like to say that Robert Frost said it best when he says, "I took the road less traveled by and that made all the difference." While their first date wasn't the activity they planned, it was a date filled with smiles and laughs and went on for hours. Over two years later, they found themselves back at that park next to the mini golf course again. Only this time, Mike planned this walk. He walked her to the very park where they met for the first time and learned how to improvise together for the first time. Mike got down on one knee, asked Alexandra to marry him and she was speechless. Ok....she had laryngitis. But it was so darn cute!
