Jersey born and raised, Michael and Mitchel’s story incidentally began across the pond in 2018, when they met while studying abroad at Queen Mary University in London. What started as a chance encounter outside of a dorm room at 3 AM soon turned into a lifelong bond rooted in laughter and adventure. Since then, they’ve built a life full of exploration—having lived together in Philadelphia, San Francisco, and now back in New Jersey, calling Red Bank home with their spoiled cavapoo, Rico. Now, they’re thrilled to embark on their greatest adventure yet—marriage—and can’t wait to celebrate their engagement with the people who mean the most.
