It all started with a serendipitous moment on May 18, 2019. Michael, having been on what felt like 50 first dates, decided he was giving himself one last weekend on the dating sites. Andy was already on a break from internet matchmaking, but as luck would have it, decided that this same weekend would be the right time to return. The timing could not have been better! Andy and Michael immediately caught one another's eye and connected. As seasoned veterans of online small talk, they both quickly cut to the chase and decided that it would be better to meet up in person that week for a Taco Tuesday. After 4 hours of non-stop conversation around shared interests, a few stories, and not nearly enough tacos (they both were too polite to order more than two!) they both knew that this was just the beginning! Andy was excited about how things immediately clicked into place, and Michael felt that this could be his last "first date!" Fast forward to May 18, 2024. They are so excited to celebrate with family and friends when they get married on the 5 year anniversary of that well timed match. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pictured below: We got engaged on September 30, 2022 on Block Island. Block Island is a very special place for us that we visit every year. We typically find a clam shell, pull it apart, and make a wish. This time, Michael proposed with a clam shell-shaped box, and Andy made both of their wishes come true by saying yes!
