It was a beautiful cold fall evening when our eyes.... just kidding.. we met online like 95% of couples do these days! Ariella was the first to say hello and the rest is history!
It was a Saturday afternoon, Ariella's school officially announced that they were going virtual and Michael was on his way home from work. Michael called Ariella and declared that they MUST go out for a drink. Ariella was hesitant due to the world collapsing but Michael sounded excited and smoothly convinced Ariella to go. Michael led Ariella to the back patio of McLoone's Boathouse where he had rose petals leading to a table for two, roses in vases everywhere, and a bottle of champagne on the table. After Ariella said YES, they celebrated with family and then immediately went into lockdown. Instead of two weeks of bliss, they had 5 months.
