All the way back in 2011, Michaela and her dad were at the same NY Rangers game as Dillon and his sister. His sister and Michaela knew each other from high school where they played on the girls hockey team together. Who would have thought, this all started at a hockey game! A few weeks after the game, and some Facebook stalking later, Dillon mistakenly thought Michaela was a NY Rangers fan, based on being at the same game and seeing some pictures Michaela had with NY Rangers players. Then he found out that not only did she hate the Rangers, but she was a die-hard fan of their rival team the NJ Devils. But if you know hockey people, they are just happy to find someone else that likes hockey. Dillon invited Michaela to play roller hockey with some of his friends which she happily joined. After she blocked a ball with her face, and took a shoulder to the head by one of his friends and didn't run away, we both knew there was something special there. The biggest test of the relationship was just a year later - the 2012 NHL Eastern Conference Finals. If you don't know how it ended; the short version is the Devils beat the Rangers. If you want the full story, ask Michaela; Dillon isn't quite over it yet. Here we are 10 years later; best friends, fur-parents to our crazy dog Pekka, and finally getting married!
