“She walked in, and I noticed her right away,” affirms the groom of the first moment he saw Brit Smith at a bar in New York City – on the same street where they now live. They chatted for a bit, and then Brit turned away to talk to her friends. “The next thing I knew, he was waving goodbye to me from across the room,” she remembers of the brief exchange. Thankfully, Mike connected with

Brit on LinkedIn – the only social media he had at the time – and they exchanged phone numbers. A few years later while on vacation in Paris, Mike led Brit to a gorgeous suite decorated with roses that offered a perfect view of the Eiffel Tower. “When I turned back around to look at Mike, he was down on one knee,” muses Brit of the private, picturesqu­e proposal. “It was perfect.”
