Dominick and Mykaela met on staff at Lake Wapogasset Lutheran Bible Camp in May 2016. They spent the summer teaching kids about the gospel and pretending to be eight years old at the campfire. During that summer, they developed a close bond. They remained friends and fell in love in 2018.

Dominick and Mykaela got engaged during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dominick surprised Mykaela by creating a superman costume and planning an at home superhero 5K. They have created a tradition of participating in the ALS Association Superhero 5K each spring to celebrate Mykaela's dad and support ALS research. The COVID-19 pandemic prevented the 5K from happening, but that did not stop Dominick. They went down to the river and returned home to complete the 5K. Once they arrived home, Dominick got down on one knee and proposed. Of course Mykaela said yes.
