Mike and Lindsay matched on the Coffee Meets Bagel app on Wednesday 2/21/18. They messaged each other to setup a date for the very next day (it turns out that Lindsay was actually on a date with someone else that night!) Their first date was for drinks at Crimson & Rye, and of course, Mike was running late! They shared an instant connection over margaritas, and for whatever reason Mike felt it was important to let Lindsay know that "sports were not that important to him". As we all know, that may be the biggest lie Mike has ever told. With a little confidence boost from the margs, Lindsay decided to invite Mike to her best friends birthday dinner the very next night. Mike was feeling the spark as well, and gladly accepted the invite! Mike attended the dinner and earned some major brownie points with Lindsay and her sorority sisters after graciously taking the role of photographer for the evening! Disappointed to learn that both had plans for the next night, they quickly confirmed a date for that Sunday. You could say the rest is history as the pair did not spend many days apart after that weekend! The two made it BF and GF official during a snow day at one of their favorite diners in the city, Moonstruck. Wanting to take the next step and move in together, the two settled into a one bedroom apartment in the Upper East Side in October of 2019. The Covid pandemic hit NYC shortly after. The two were able to adapt into this new world with a love and understanding of each other's needs and turned their new apartment into a home, office and a gym! Learning that if the two could make it through a pandemic and spend 24/7 together, they could be strong enough to handle anything that life throws their way. Mike proposed to Lindsay on April 24, 2021 in Central Park in front of close family, friends and TikTok stars. The day was truly magical. The rest of their story is still being written and the two cannot wait for their next chapter!
