Our story starts in 2019 and like any other modern romance, we met online. We matched with each other on a dating app, and after some time talking, we decided to meet for our first date at the Irving Inn Social on a chilly December night. We bonded over Tito's (martinis for me, vodka seltzer for Michael) and charcuterie. Soon after our first date, 2020 happened and the world changed. We spent the beginning of our relationship quarantined together, which made our bond closer than ever.

Fast forward to 2021, on a random weekend in November (11/20 to be exact!) We showed up to The Station in Garwood (Michael's hometown), under the guise of casual dinner with friends, we were greeted in a back room filled with our closest friends and family. After some shuffling around and confusion on Cristina's end, Michael was down on one knee proposing! The rest is history. We are so excited to share our story and this special event with all of you this year.
