In the summer of 2012, Jeremy and Michelle met in college (The University of Cincinnati) through mutual friends. They were both in the DAAP program. Jeremy was in school, and Michelle was co-oping at LPK for the summer. Michelle was hanging out with one of Jeremy's mutual friends when they ran into each other outside of the local convenience store, Riddle Road Market, near campus. From there, they ended up hanging out in the same circle. Their first date was a Reds game and dinner at Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar and Grill 🙃. It was a great time, and the night ended with fireworks.
