Our story began at an Ugly Christmas Sweater party where we instantly caught each others attention. From time to time after the party, Mike would always ask Nicole's friend "where's Frankenstein?". Finally (and thankfully) Nicole let Allison give Mike her phone number. After a month of conversing and getting to know each other, it was time for an in person date! Our first date was at Phipps Conservatory on December 21, 2014 to see Christmas lights. For anyone that knows Mike -they know that he is a huge football fan, and what comes with football? Mike growing his playoff beard... Thankfully the Steelers didn't make a deep playoff run that year LOL. The night was going so well that neither of us wanted it to end so we decided to continue the night at Mike's house. Still to this day we joke and laugh about how neither of us took off our shoes or coats because of how nervous we were, LOL. Ever since that night- the rest is truly history. We have been happily together ever since!
