Our Story

Hi Friends and Family! We are sure most of you know this, but for those who don't, we wanted to share a little bit more of our story with everyone! We met back in 2016 at Ohio State. We had crossed paths several times as co-workers at the RPAC on campus. Michael would make sure to go through Bailey's line at the entrance to the gym, even when the other line was shorter, just to say hi. Quick conversations led to Michael hanging around after a workout or shift to continue those short little encounters and make them a little longer each time. Finally, one day Bailey slid into his DMs, not long after a nice conversation about smoothies and milkshakes they had at work earlier that day. We quickly realized that we wanted to fully be a part of each other's lives. We officially started dating on 10.11.16. From that point we spent many days walking to or from classes together, tailgating and attending Ohio State games together, usually followed by bar hopping with our best friends on High Street. We said our hardest goodbye to each other as we entered a long distance relationship in 2018 when Michael went to grad school. In 2020 we ended long distance and said hello to being roommates when we moved in together! We decided to move (in the middle of a pandemic) to a new town, new state and new jobs. We then did what any couple did during the pandemic - we got our puppy Bodhi Belle! On March 27th, 2021, Michael got down on one knee surrounded by flower petals and candles. After asking that very special question and the easiest yes to answer it, family and friends came out of hiding to celebrate this new beginning! As our date quickly approaches, we cannot wait to celebrate this special day with you all! #PassBaileyTheMike
