After meeting at the restaurant, the pair formed a friendship that later became something more after he got her a job at a new restaurant a few years later.

“We’d get done with work, the staff would go out together, we’d get drinks, then we’d make out and think, ‘That was a bad idea, we should just be friends,’” Michael continued.

“Then a week would pass, we’d go out again, and the same thing would happen.” 

After two years of dating, he then proposed and they tied the knot on November 1, 1998.
