It all started when two random strangers swiped right on each other. Little did they know they were closer than they thought. When we first started dating, we learned that we only lived “two blocks” away from each other. At the start of our relationship, when we were still first chatting, we had an entire conversation made up of just GIFs #gifwars. That is how Mickey asked Alisha to be his girlfriend. Our first date was actually two dates in one day. One of our common interests is ultimate frisbee. Alisha had a game that cut our first date short. So, we decided to get the awkward second date out of the way by going to karaoke after the game. It did not take long for us to click. We started spending almost every day together right off the bat. Mickey threw her into the deep end of his friend group by inviting her to a Gamesgiving weekend. She fit in right away. Alisha fired back by bringing him to Minnesota for a flyball tournament. Typically for Alisha, flyball tournaments have been a make-or-break test for the people she brings along. Mickey joined right in that weekend. He got thrown into the mix and even got to run a dog. From that point on, he became part of the team. You know you found a good one when everyone pulls you aside to tell you they approved. Mickey knew his intentions to be a part of her life forever when he bought her a dog for Valentine’s Day. At this point, we had only been dating for four months. Not long after that, he moved into our home. At the beginning of March, he already had a ring. Being in a new house, it was difficult for him to find a hiding spot. Alisha managed to unknowingly move the ring multiple times before he had to just hide it in his jacket. The engagement was simple – Mickey surrounded Alisha with the dogs and proposed right in the kitchen. Since the engagement on March 26, 2023, it’s been nothing but wedding planning, frisbee and flyball. In December 2023, Alisha had to up her Christmas present game and got Mickey his first dog, Teddy. As a fellow flyball teammate mentioned, Teddy is Mickey in dog form. Now we are here planning a Harry Potter/Halloween wedding extravaganza.
