Caroline was happy living her single life and wasn’t looking for anything serious. Michael was re-discovering himself and thought he just wanted to date casually, until the spring of 2023 when they stumbled upon one other’s Hinge profiles. Michael left a comment on one of Caroline’s photos, but Caroline had once again given up on the swipe right scene and didn’t see the comment for two weeks. After she FINALLY replied, they met for drinks. When Caroline went home, she told her daughter Norah “Yeah, it was nice. I’d see him again.” After chatting a bit more, they set up a second date to take a walk along the James. To this day, there are questions as to how the relationship survived this date after several missed cues and an awkward walk back to their cars. Was it karma? Blind optimism? Divine intervention? Desperation? Nobody knows, but they persevered and arranged date three where things finally clicked. Today, after over two years of walks, drinks, music festivals, family dinners, vacations, and trashy reality TV shows, they’re getting hitched and cannot wait to celebrate with you!
