Mike and Kim both went to high school together and despite having countless mutual friends, their paths rarely crossed. After Kim graduated high school in 2015, Mike reached out through Facebook. Even though Mike had moved to Orlando for college, the 1,000+ mile difference and 11-month long-distance relationship stood the test of time. When Kim and Mike reunited more officially in July of 2016, their journey continued through long work weeks, five years of college, and a brand-new home they purchased in 2021. Later that year, Mike popped the question and thus created a fantastic engagement looking toward a beautiful wedding date in 2023.
