They say love finds you when you aren't looking. Robert and Michael met in 2012 when they were both serving as Teach For America Rhode Island corps members in Providence, Rhode Island. Robert had returned to his home state after graduating from the University of Chicago, and Michael was just starting his second year teaching after joining the 2011 corps upon graduating from NYU. After a few months of getting to know each other, they celebrated their first date on December 20, 2012. It has been an adventure ever since! From the grind of graduate school, to trips around the world, to a brief stint in New York, Robert and Michael have only continued to grow closer. They know how to make each other laugh, how to support each other when times are hard, and how to cook up some truly delicious meals. They love spending time with friends, family, and their incredible dog Remy. Today, they continue to celebrate their love in the place that started it all. They couldn't be more thrilled for their friends and family to join them in Newport and share in this special moment as they continue to deepen and grow their relationship.
