Mark and Jane's vibrant connection began over 28 years ago, sparked by a shared friend. The duo, along with Mark's brother John, cousin Richard, and two other friends, formed a close-knit group that spent almost 2.5 years enjoying regular outings. Though great friends, Jane hesitated to reveal her affection for Mark.

Life took a turn when Mark was offered a job in the US, leading them on separate paths. Tearfully bidding farewell at the airport, Jane knew he was embarking on a new adventure. Mark returned, built a family, and raised two beautiful children, while Jane pursued her career in Milan, always keeping Mark in the back of her mind.

Years passed, and fate intervened during Melbourne's 2021 lockdown. Mark spotted Jane's photo on Bumble and swiped right, eagerly awaiting her response. Nervous but determined, Mark finally reached out via messenger. Their reunion, however, was postponed due to lockdown, with Jane busy assisting her brother with deliveries, including a memorable Nutella donut delivery to Mark. Despite her concerns about appearance having put on weight in lock down, roots requiring color..

The first in-person meeting was

filled with joy.

Eight months later, as Melbourne reopened, Mark reached out again. Their first official dinner date rekindled the spirit of their youth, complete with cocktails and a search for a dance-worthy club until the early hours. As they bid farewell at the cab rank, Jane felt her heart skip a beat.

Over the following weeks, the anticipation of Mark's texts became a sweet thrill. Finally, Mark asked her out for dinner again, and this time, they danced until 3:30 am once more. By the end of that enchanting night, Mark and Jane knew they had something extraordinary. Falling head over heels in love within a month, they both realized they were meant to be together, embracing the serendipity of fate and destiny.
