The couple had attended the same parties and student conferences and had 10 mutual friends before meeting for dinner on October 8th, 2015. They bonded over political philosophy, a shared commitment to social justice and, of course, chicken and waffles, which Misha ate with her hands. From there, Jeremy and Misha agreed to go on a food tour of Atlanta by eating at new restaurants and attending food festivals. Their common bond over food, shared values, and similar approach to life has led them to this path of matrimony.
