Mike and I met in late 2019 on the coveted, and totally-not-tacky: Tinder. That's right. After swiping for what felt like months, and many, many bad dates, we found something that just...clicked. On our first date we met at Tanzenwald brewery in Northfield, and it went so well we decided to do a second date the very next day. The rest is history.

About a month into dating, the pandemic happened. Which threw a big wrench in a lot of future date ideas and frankly, everything we thought we knew. We moved in together a bit fast due to this, but after surviving a world in which everything was uncertain, one thing was: we were meant to do this life together.

Since then we have made so many memories with our friends and family. We have gone through hardships, including all of the ups and downs of the human experience. We have lost loved ones. Made new friends. Found new passions. Struggled through financial hardships. Have had to make hard decisions. But through it all, we did it together and couldn't be happier to know that for the rest of our short lives here on this ball hurtling through space, we have each other.
