While Ariel was looking for an apartment in fall of 2020 when she came across a room for rent in Rocky Hill CT. Michael happened to be looking for a roommate at the time and so they met and by November 1st they were roommates. They instantly clicked and by November 20th they were officially dating. A thousand + episodes of One Piece and three years later, Michael decided it was time to put a ring on it. He waited until her nails were perfect and set up a movie night featuring her favorite movie “White Christmas” and at the very end he got down on one knee and asked her for forever. She said yes and here we are!
