We Do!

Megan & Mike met on a group "date" at Bar Noir in Cambridge, MA (okay, fine, it was through an app, Grouper). Mike arrived with his friends Steve and James. Megan arrived with her friends Molly and Deepti. Megan and Mike's only interaction during this date was when Mike knocked over his drink (he has long arms, okay!?) and asked for a sip of Megan's. She was so charmed that she invited Mike, Steve and James to her and her roommates' "summer kickoff" party in South Boston, aka Southie, a few weeks later... and the rest is history! After 2 years of dating, Megan and Mike moved into a "Junior 1-Bedroom", aka large studio apartment, in Assembly Row, Somerville. After another year, a large studio apartment seemed like the perfect place to adopt a puppy... So, Megan and Mike added Pedro to their family. One year later, a large studio apartment with 2 people and one dog felt small... So, Megan and Mike picked up and moved to San Diego, CA. In March 2019, Mike proposed to Megan in their new, 2 bedroom (!!) apartment.

It had rained an unusual amount in San Diego that winter, so Southern California was experiencing a Springtime, once-every-ten-years "California Poppy SuperBloom". One night, Mike called Megan into their bedroom to get her opinion on how his suit fit for an upcoming wedding they were attending. As they were chatting, Mike asked Megan if she wanted to go and see the SuperBloom the next day. Now, Megan is a planner and, normally, she wouldn't have agreed on such short notice. But, she suspected Mike was up to something... so, she agreed. Much to Mike's surprise! He had to alter his proposal on the spot, as it all hinged on Megan saying she couldn’t go the next day. But, he improvised, got down on one knee - in a suit! - and they were engaged!
