Becca and Mark began talking on a dating app (Bumble) in early May 2023. If you ask Becca, it was Mother's Day weekend. If you ask Mark, he would say the first day or two of May. :) After talking for about two weeks on the app, Mark asked Becca out on a date. Becca was knee deep in end of the school year events and activities so their first date was May 31st, 2023 at The Burrow in Oakdale, MN.

Not long into their conversation, they find out that Mark and Becca's dad, (also named Mark) have birthdays that are one day apart. Mark and Becca discovered they both knew someone. Mark's former co-worker & good friend, Ike, grew up in the same neighborhood as Becca. Ike's sister and Becca were also friends in elementary school. After talking for 3 hours, Becca and Mark went outside and played cornhole. Mark would say he smoked Becca in two games of cornhole, and Becca begrudgingly agrees!

**FUN FACT: The top photo is very special...it's our first picture taken together! :)
