We randomly met at an Irish bar in Rochester, MN. Mike was in Rochester for the weekend with some buddies, and Tara lived in Rochester at the time. Mike's brother Anthony beckoned Tara over at the bar and introduced her to his brother Mike... the rest is history!

Tara was in San Diego for a girls trip.. little did she know that Mike schemed with a few of the gals and flew in on the final day of the girls trip to propose! The girls did a great job keeping the secret and led Tara to Sunset Cliffs for "one last picture" before heading to a "nice brunch" - Mike was waiting on the cliffs and proposed! It was incredibly romantic and the biggest surprise! We are so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you!
