Mike & Tom: We Swiped Right

Love stories are like fingerprints, each one distinct and irreplaceable. Tom Carlucci and Michael Biron's tale is a captivating narrative that showcases the beauty of two souls finding one another in the vast digital landscape, traversing the boundaries of distance to create a bond that's unbreakable. Their journey from virtual connections to a heartfelt proposal demonstrates the sheer power of love in its purest form.

Their story began with the now-commonplace swipe of a finger, a digital gesture that has the potential to alter destinies. Mike stumbled upon Tom's profile while exploring the "most viewed list" of a newly installed dating app. With a simple swipe, the wheels of fate were set in motion. Tom responded to Mike's gesture with a message, igniting a conversation that would redefine their lives. Within minutes, they were connected via a Skype call, and from that instant, their connection flourished. Geography couldn't suppress their growing affection. Despite the miles that separated them, Tom and Mike's bond flourished with each passing day. Daily conversations became a lifeline, as they bared their souls, shared laughter, and nurtured their dreams. Just three weeks after their virtual meeting, Tom took a leap of faith, embarking on a journey from Buffalo to Grafton, MA, to meet Mike in person. The encounter defied any awkwardness; instead, an unspoken understanding and a deep connection solidified their feelings.

Their love story deepened when Tom, the adventurous spirit, orchestrated a proposal filled with surprises. On October 2nd, 2021, coinciding with the fourth anniversary of their initial interaction, Tom surprised Mike with a scratch ticket that concealed a heartfelt question beneath its surface: "Will you Marry Me?" .

Tom and Mike, as a couple, epitomize the concept of balance. Mike's Type A personality seamlessly melds with Tom's laid-back disposition, creating a harmonious synergy that strengthens both individuals. Their shared passions, including sports, family, and outdoor activities, form the foundation of their connection. From friendly sports rivalries to cherished moments spent with loved ones, they've masterfully woven their lives together. The differences that set them apart also serve as a testament to their authenticity. Tom's youthful exuberance complements Mike's maturity, a blend that defies conventional labels and expectations. Beneath the surface of their story lies a shared sense of humor that often shines through. Mike's dancing skills may be a source of friendly banter, but it's his willingness to embrace life's joyful moments that truly matters. Meanwhile, Tom's role as the Patriarch of his Italian family underscores his commitment to both his heritage and his love for Mike.

As they embark on the journey to marital bliss, Tom and Mike embody the beauty of finding a partner who fills the gaps and amplifies the strengths. Their narrative is one of growth, unwavering support, and a genuine connection. From a digital swipe to a heartfelt proposal, their story reminds us that love's journey can begin in unexpected places.

In the presence of family, friends, and those who have witnessed their journey, Tom Carlucci and Michael Biron exchanged vows at the Audubon Home in Key West, Florida and celebrated the night away with friends and families. Congratulations to you and your families!
