Our Story

One Big Adventure

Picture of One Big Adventure

Our story begins with a glass of wine, a missed date, and more charcuterie boards than we can count. It grows into a first flight together, a leap into the unknown, and the chance to travel the world side by side. Along the way, there are plenty of firsts — Mark’s first time hiking, Nick’s first time eating an oyster.

It’s a story that crosses cultures and countries, fueled by curiosity, connection, and lots of good food.

It’s an “I love you” on a Ferris wheel.

A “yes” at the foot of a castle.

And an “I do” in a garden.

Our first date was on July 19, 2021, where we met for a glass of wine at Sasha's. Our first photo together happened a couple of weeks later when we saw Kinky Boots at the Muny.
