Meet-Cute

noun

(in a film or television show) an amusing or charming first encounter between two characters that leads to the development of a romantic relationship between them.

Less than 15% of couples meet at work. So maybe that makes Michael and Alisa's story especially unique!

Thanks to spending time together in the office, along with going on team trips to a new company office in TN, Michael and Alisa got to spend a lot of time together throughout January-June 2021 and struck up a close friendship. They both admit to having a few "what if" thoughts about each other, but never fully thinking about it...

… until late June 2021. Right around the same time, they realized that there was more to this friendship than they'd originally thought. But, they never discussed it or hinted at it to each other. Until June 22, 2021. They went on a frog hunting excursion at Rope Mill Park in Woodstock, GA, mostly because they had discussed their mutual love of wildlife the other day at work and wanted to relive their childhood love of catching critters. And that's where Michael asked... not "will you go out with me"... but straight to "would you want to start dating?"

Alisa's response, "I was hoping you'd ask!"

Later, they both realized that a lot of prayer had gone into that whole process on both of their ends, for it to have all fallen into place without previous discussion (that type of coincidence doesn't just happen normally). And the rest is history!
