Mike and Laura met in Alexandria, VA after connecting on Coffee Meets Bagel and bonding over being, seemingly, the only non-lawyers in DC. The 1 hour "let's see" coffee meet up turned into an 8 hour marathon date, world's most awkward first kiss, and the promise to meet again the following weekend. Date 2 explored the muddy wilds of Kingman Island and the ambiance of Laura's favorite bar in Eastern Market. Their relationship blossomed from there, weekend hikes, picnics and cooking adventures, vacations, excursions, dancing, and generally finding joy in all things! Mike and Laura felt connection, love, & safety from each other from day 1. So, it was no surprise that when Dr. Mike got an awesome job offer from the USDA in PA, Laura made the decision to change careers and see what Philly had to offer. Best decision ever. 2 years, 3 promotions, a new house, an engagement, and 2 cats later, Mike and Laura have happily established a wonderful home in Glenside, PA. They are looking forward to their future together and can't wait to see what life brings!
