In a tale of two cities, Michael (St. Paul) and Tali (Minneapolis) grew up nearby but on opposite banks of the Mississippi River. The two were first united at the Twin Cities Jewish Middle School that brought students from the two cities together. Following a return to their respective hometowns after finishing 8th grade, the two were reunited in Madison, WI where they both attended college. They have been happily together ever since.
Michael proposed to Tali at the summit of Bear Peak, the mountain that juts above their home in Boulder, CO, on a beautiful fall day last October. After some much anticipated tears of joy, Tali exclaimed "Of course!" and accepted Michael's proposal.
