We met as Ariel from the Little Mermaid, and 'that guy from Canton", during a Halloween costume party/ birthday bash/ CD release at a live band bar, the Carriage House. We spent the whole night together, ending in a hug and number exchange, and texted everyday afterwards.

While celebrating her recent graduation with her Masters Degree, Michael proposed. We were at a local restaurant for lunch. He got the restaurant employees to help and gather the customers attention.
