On a summer day in 2018, Mitch was in Hawaii and Kara was home in Charlotte. Defying the laws of Hinge's maximum distance settings, they somehow matched with each other over a shared distaste for cheap tequila. Mitch asked for the date, and Kara eventually overcame her fear of meeting up with a stranger off the internet and said yes. They went to Dot Dot Dot for a nice cocktail, but immediately connected over a shared love of Hibachi restaurants. They decided to ditch the snooty cocktail bar, and went to Red Ginger in Uptown for a night full of fried rice, knife tricks, and onion volcanoes. When Mitch caught the shrimp in his mouth, Kara was pretty much ready to lock it down right then and there. Two and a half years later, on March 11th 2021, Mitch dropped down on one knee at Castello di Amarosa in Napa Valley. Kara said yes, and now we're here!
