Michael and Sydney's love story first began when they both swiped right on popular dating application, Hinge! Sydney had just moved to North Carolina to accept her first job out of graduate school and had gotten on the app to meet new people. Michael and Sydney messaged back and forth for a couple weeks before deciding to meet for their first date! Michael decided on taking Sydney to a Mexican restaurant, Blue Agave, due to her extreme love of queso. Sydney had a drink (or two) before Michael picked her up at her apartment and they continued to drink the night away (on a Wednesday). Before Michael knew it, Sydney was rapping Lil Wayne in his passenger seat all the way home. Michael called Sydney the next day and asked if he could bring her dinner in attempt to cure her *headache* and the rest is history. Ten dates later and it was official!
