In today’s episode, we’re joined by Michael (also known as Misha) and Mario, whose love story began when they went clubbing on Halloween. After just six months of dating, Misha proposed, and now, after a two-year engagement, the couple is planning their wedding for 2026. They have a three decade age gap and their story is one for the ages.
It’s a conversation full of warmth, wisdom, and insights on love in all its forms. We cover:

  • The challenges and joys of dating in middle age
  • Navigating coming out and finding acceptance with parents
  • Why a quick proposal can lead to a lasting engagement
  • The power of traditional weddings and vows
