They met in August of 2021. They met at a redemption center. Luke was driving the truck to pick up the bottles and Mariah was working in the redemption center. Little did they know, they were both crushing on each other. Luke asked his co worker to leave his number for the "blonde girl from Mahan's with glasses". Mariah recieved it later that day as she was not working and they started talking. After 5 days of texting and 1 long email later, they were dating and the rest is history!
