Let's I Do This Thing.

Although we originally met in 2009, our story officially began in September of 2015 in an unbelievably romantic way - we swiped right on Tinder. After a week of texting and never once mentioning that we had met previously, we went on a date to Carolina Blue, a local bar in South Jersey. We sat down that night for dinner, drinks, and conversation that would unknowingly change our lives forever.

In March 2018, Patrick planned a weekend in Philadelphia, which included seeing Swan Lake, a stay at The Logan hotel, and dinner at Del Frisco's. Right before we headed out for dinner, Patrick kneeled down in our hotel room, with the city and sunset in the background, and asked Michele to marry him. Michele's response was much less than ideal, as she responded with "Are you serious? You better not be joking or I'm going to be really mad. Are you sure?!" After a few minutes of asking whether Patrick was serious or not, Michele finally said yes!
