Like so many modern love stories, ours began with a swipe — on Hinge. But what started as a digital match quickly turned into something more meaningful when we discovered we had both gone to Stonehill College. Even though Michele was a freshman when Morgan was a senior, our paths never crossed back then. It took a few years (and a well-timed app algorithm) for the universe to bring us together — and once it did, everything just clicked. Since then, we’ve shared countless adventures, supported each other through big life moments, and even bought our first home together. One especially unforgettable moment came on September 29, 2024, during a walk through Joppa Park in Newburyport with Michele’s parents. About 45 minutes before popping the question, Morgan quietly asked Michele’s dad for his blessing — and shortly after, with the water beside us and the people we love nearby, he got down on one knee. Now, we’re so excited to start this next chapter — side by side, hand in hand, forever.
