Mike and Sarah crossed paths years before they would officially meet when they competed in a mock trial competition in high school, and both played the same witness in the case for their teams. Years later in October of 2020, Mike was Sarah's first match on a dating app less than 10 minutes after she had downloaded it, and they quickly bonded over their love of Star Wars and superhero movies, especially Spiderman. Their first date was a picnic looking out over the water in Broderick Park on the Niagara River in Buffalo, NY. Shortly after, they went stargazing together as their second date and have been inseparable ever since. After moving in together in an apartment in Buffalo, they adopted their puppy Hazel from the SPCA in July of 2021. After nearly a year of looking at houses, they bought a house in Williamsville together in May 2022, with a big backyard for Hazel. Mike proposed September 23rd, 2022 in Cherry Springs State Park in PA at the Moonraker Cabin, which is one of the clearest places in the US to see the stars. Their wedding will be on August 17th, 2024 at the Layfayette Hotel in Buffalo NY.
