1.) In 2013 Amylu and Michael met via an online dating website called OkCupid. Both of them live very busy work schedules and found online to be a better way to meet someone instead of at a bar or club. Amylu sent Michael a message and they chatted online for a few weeks. One Saturday night he asked her on a date...
2.) Amylu was an HOUR late! Her cell phone battery died so she couldn't call Michael. The bar they were meeting at was across the street from his work. She went to the front desk and asked them to call Michael's cell phone..."Hi, I'm supposed to be on a first date with Michael Lee. I'm an hour late. Could you please call him??" The man at the desk was actually the owner of the restaurant and his boss. I'm sure I sounded crazy! So embarrassing!
3.) The date actually went really well! "I'm having a great time and don't want the date to end yet. Do you want to come back to my apt to hangout? And no, I'm NOT trying to be naughty." said Michael. They went back to apartment and watched a documentary on one of their favorite dark metal bands; CRADLE OF FILTH! How romantic?!?! That pretty much sealed the deal...
4.) Michael was a chef at Max's Oyster Bar in West Hartford and Amylu worked in event rentals in Middletown. Both originally from Connecticut but very well traveled. "You're a pretty cool lady." Said Michael on their first date after hearing about Amylu's worldly travels. They got along really well and almost a year later Amylu moved in with Michael.
5.) Michael got a job in Mystic, CT and so they moved to Groton, CT. Michael works as a chef for Ocean Blue Catering at the Mystic Aquarium. Amylu works in event rentals in New London, CT. They live in a town house with their sweet cat Mini.
6.) On July 20, 2014, one night before bed Michael asked Amylu if she'd marry him and she said yes..."but when we get a ring I want you to ask me for real!" Said Amylu. They finally found the perfect ring and later this year they will officially tie the knot!
