We're getting married!

In June 2019, Mitch sent Ari a message on Coffee Meets Bagel… but she didn’t see it until weeks later. Luckily, some things are just meant to be. Their first date was on June 21, 2019, and somehow one date immediately turned into another the very next day. Even then, neither of them was completely sure if the other actually liked them until date number three, but once they figured it out, everything seemed to fall naturally into place. Just one month later, on Ari’s birthday, Mitch officially asked her to be his girlfriend and surprised her with tickets to her dream vacation, Bali. In true Mitch fashion, he thoughtfully booked their final hotel stay as a two-bedroom suite just in case they discovered they couldn’t survive a vacation together. Thankfully, they never needed the extra room. Over the years, their relationship grew into a partnership filled with love, laughter, adventure, and the kind of friendship that makes life feel easy. Together, they continue to build a beautiful life with Kennedy and Kylo. On July 29, 2024, while in Maui, Mitch asked Ari to marry him after getting a little encouragement from Kennedy, who told him it was time to “rizz” her mom. And of course, she said yes. From a message almost missed to a lifetime they can’t imagine without each other, Mitch and Ari are so excited to celebrate this next chapter with all of the people they love most.
