Mark and Kara met in the summer of 2019 while both working as constables for a local hospital. The connection was instant and a friendship began. As feelings grew they made it known to one another how the other felt. On October 18th, 2020, after a walk to the shoreline and Kara's first shooting star sighting, the two made their connection official and began dating. That evening Mark looked at his watch, noting the date as 10-18 ("complete mission asap" in Delaware police ten codes). It did not take long to begin living together, celebrating the holidays, and creating memories they'd never forget. Through life's ups and downs, they remain each other's partner-in-crime, or as they like to say "P.I.C." Now on this exact date, four years later, Mark and Kara are eager to take the next step towards spending forever together.
