Carly started 2016 with three rules for dating online: the first date should be planned within the first ten messages, every first date should be a coffee date, and everybody gets a second date. Michael, not having telepathic abilities, first asked Carly to join him for an intimate concert of a Swedish pop singer, which she turned down (the rules!) Their second attempt at a first date got delayed by a rare New York City blizzard. But the third time's the charm, and they met at Queens Kickshaw in their beloved Astoria neighborhood. The coffee date extended into brunch, the second date was at a charming Scottish pub, and the rest is history. Nearly five years after they met, Michael and Carly are so excited to start the next chapter of their lives together, and beyond thrilled to do so in celebration with all of you.
