Laura and Mike's first encounter was, believe it or not, at age 14. The two met at a crowded, noisy school dance at Xaverian High School to the blaring jams of Sean Paul, Usher, and Outkast - great for dancing, not great for conversation. They remained in each other's orbit all throughout high school due to having a similar friend circle, and while Mike's hair was significantly shaggier and Laura's significantly frizzier, they always had a keen interest in each other. Despite many parties, proms, and gatherings bringing them together throughout high school, it would take until senior year of college (7 years after they first met) to take steps toward a real, actual date. Since that day in 2010, Mike and Laura have become puppy parents (check out the "Photos" section of this website to see their adorable pup Mia), moved into and began renovating a home, and got engaged in Iceland in a snowy abandoned field under a harvest moon (it is rumored that Laura's screeching when Mike popped the question caused many of the glaciers in the country to crack). They are thrilled to join their dearest friends and family on June 25th for their wedding!
