Michael and Karina matched on Bumble and met up for their first date on July 20th, 2017. Michael asked what Karina would be wearing, and she said she'd be the one with the rose. On that night, Karina brought a fake rose to the bar, and the two hit it off. Karina liked that Michael was irrefutably himself. He didn't try to hide the nerdiness away and never tried to pretend to be someone he wasn't. Michael liked that Karina had a great sense of humor and always made him laugh. Oh, and she was pretty cute too. They spent most of the time cracking jokes, watching "You're The Worst", drinking red wine, and falling in love. Through the years, no matter what, both were constantly supportive of each other. Masters? No problem. New career? No sweat! Adopting a dog? A breeze. They know that by each others side they can do anything! So, they decided why not marriage?
