How We Met

Right Place, Right Time

John & Caitlin met on a dating app, but that's only half the story. Caitlin had recently moved back to Michigan and was living in Grand Haven. John and Caitlin matched (She made the first move. Her message? "Where do I sign?" His response? "On the dotted line!") but she didn't know that he lived more than 100 miles from her: he only appeared in her list of potential matches because he was in town visiting a friend in nearby Muskegon. They went on amazing first, second, and third dates, but they soon began to wonder how they'd bridge the gap. A few weeks into their relationship, John was offered a job he had applied for many months beforehand and had written off as a nonstarter. The location? Muskegon, Michigan. Three months after their first date, John moved to West Michigan. One of his first questions for Caitlin once he arrived? "When's your lease up?"
