It was a Saturday night in 2017 in Fort Lauderdale. Kate was getting sushi with her friend Amy. Two men walked into the restaurant wearing plaid shirts and cowboy hats. Amy pointed at the taller one and joked, “that’s the one for you.” They sat at the table next to Kate and Amy. And Kate quickly realized ‘the one for her’ was her classmate from law school. Kate and Lance first met while attending Nova Southeastern University. At Nova, they were acquaintances with the occasional smile and hello when passing each other on campus. In 2008, they graduated, passed the bar exam, and began their respective law practices in South Florida. Then in 2014, Kate moved to Europe to pursue her dream of managing professional yacht racing while Lance stayed in Florida to build his successful law firm and practice. Back at the sushi restaurant, Kate, Amy, Lance, and Dan closed the place that night. When Lance asked Kate if he could take her out the following evening she had to decline because she was flying back to Italy. The six-hour time difference between Italy and Florida made it interesting but they stayed in touch, texting and talking. When Kate came home for Christmas that year (2017), Lance got his chance to take her on their first date – in Cleveland. Lance flew to Ohio, met Kate’s family and they stayed at her dad’s house for three days. After ringing in the New Year together, Kate returned to Italy and Lance went back to Florida. They stayed in touch, took many flights over the ocean, and in October of 2018, Lance flew to Italy and helped Kate move out of her European apartment and back to Florida with him. On December 22, 2018 – Lance proposed to Kate on top of Mount Washington in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania…the rest is history.
