Corie and Mic were invited (separately) to spend a week at the beach in the summer of 2016 with the recently engaged couple Lisa Mihalich and Chris Quinn. At Chris's annual birthday cookout in June, the two were introduced and had their first (of many) awkward conversation. In August of 2016 they spent a week in Myrtle Beach, SC getting to know each other through decreasingly awkward conversations. The two continued to run into each other at Quinn gatherings and were always able to make each other smile. Finally, after a New Years Day brunch in 2018 Mic helped Corie carry a plant to her car and asked her out to a movie (that they never saw).
Mic got home and proposed. She said yes!
