The very first meeting was at the Wedding of Jamie and Steve. Jamie is Colleen’s cousin and Steve is a good friend of Mike’s. Their wedding was in 2012. Colleen was volunteered to put on the boutonnières of the fellas and the moment she put Mike’s on, she knew when she looked into his eyes, saw his smile, and the butterflies flew....... later evening conversations included conversations about Orion. Both the groom’s late dog and the bride’s favorite constellation. Colleen was traveling for rotations to finish grad school. Several messages later and a 6 hour phone conversation (colleen was returning from a rotation in Wyoming.) This specific leg of the trip she was struggling to make it to Chicago but Mike kept on chatting to keep Colleen wide awake. A few dates while she was back in NY for a couple of weeks, a road trip to Pittsburgh Mike took to visit Colleen on her birthday, and an amazing third date in Hawaii was enough to get things off to a great start.....
