Mark and Nicole were meant to be. The first thing they found in common was they both attended two year programs for college; which equals no spare time while in school. While Mark attended Lake Area Tech and Nicole graduated from Herzing University. Meeting someone in either of their programs was not in the cards, so they both downloaded a dating app named bumble, where girls message first. This was perfect since Nicole is the extraverted type, she was able to make the first move. While Mark, the introverted type liked it because he DIDN’T have to make the first move.

Nicole remembers coming across Mark’s page because he had a picture of himself with a horse and she was sold. She swiped right and it was a match! Mark liked her too! She sent a message and they met at Nicole’s favorite restaurant (The Cheesecake Factory) for dinner and a second date a week later for a movie. If you are wondering what they saw, they saw bohemian rhapsody! And yes, Nicole still has the movie tickets from their first date. As an Ode to their first date, you will hear Queen being played during the reception.

They consider their meeting date their anniversary. Mark and Nicole never stopped talking after their first date on November 2nd 2018, and the rest is history!
