How We Met

Some call it coincidence, others call it fate, we call it Jesus

As some of you may know, Cole and Emily's love story started in a pretty unique way. Cole and Emily both worked in the real estate realm 6 states away from each other, but Cole traveled to Michigan for business. Their paths had crossed over email with a few mutual clients, but they had never met in person. A year prior to being set up on a blind date, her mom (who also worked in real estate) handed Cole Emily's business card. Reluctantly Cole denied as he was seeing someone at the time. Fast forward to 2019, Cole is single, back in Michigan for work. Another mutual business friend, Janice, handed Cole Emily's business card. When Cole realized it was the same person, he agreed to a blind date. 18 months of long distance later, Cole moved to Michigan and the rest was history. Emily & Cole got their first pug shortly after, bought their first home in 2020, got baptized together in 2024 & are now getting married in Italy in 2026.
