Michael and Cassandra first officially met in 2014 while working together in event design. After countless hours cataloging tablecloths, chair covers, and silk florals, they decided their time together would be better spent outside of the workplace (as the two often found themselves laughing and "making play" out of what was supposed to be "serious work") and a friendship was born! As the year went on, they bonded over their shared love of Stargate, Lord of the Rings, and adventure until December 13, 2015. That night, Michael took a leap of faith and kissed Cassandra, kicking off the start of what would turn out to be the rest of their lives. Eleven years later, they continue to make each other smile and snort with laughter through the "serious work" and neither would have it any other way.
