Michael and Jen found each other online in the Fall of 2011 . They met in person at a Terre Haute coffee shop, Java Haute and they began dating January 2012. The couple moved to Indy in 2014, but in 2015, life happened as it does, and the couple went their separate ways. Jen went to Florida to be with her father and Michael became a chef in Indianapolis. The stars were aligning because when Jen moved back to Indy in the Fall of 2017, she had no idea that she was moving right across from Michael's apartment. They ran into each other paying rent on Halloween and on February 16, 2019, Michael took Jen to Terre Haute to see family. With Jen none the wiser, he brought her to the very coffee shop where they first met and proposed over a chunky monkey fappe and an espresso. The couple are so happy to have gotten a second chance on love and to be spending their best day ever with those they hold closest to their hearts.
