After meeting in Boston at Bar Louie just days earlier, Mari knew Mark was “it” in September of 2019 when he greeted her at the Green Line stop with Oreos and cheddar Goldfish to share, and held her hand all the way to their second date spot (stargazing and listening to music).

A few dates later, Mark knew Mari was "it" when he ordered a grilled cheese at an Italian restaurant, and after receiving a literal block of cheese that had been grilled, she couldn’t stop laughing about it the rest of the night.

Since those moments, M&M have become inseparable (literally…is this glue?) and have had fun starting to work toward their life goals, which include visiting all seven continents, driving in the city (Mark), owning a home, reaching the top shelf (Mari) and teaching their cat Bella how to high-five (collective).

Neither of them can remember what life was like before they met or imagine life without each other, but luckily Mark asked Mari to marry him (say that ten times fast!) so now they never have to. Mark and Mari are excited to make it even more “official” in 2025!
