Mike and Jenna knew of each other for years. Jenna knew Mike as the cute wrestler who she didn’t know much about, and Mike knew of Jenna solely from admiring her from afar at the gym. One night in July of 2019, Mike and Jenna both ended up at West End Bar and Grille where they found themselves in a long conversation over some adult beverages. For some reason.. neither of them can quite remember the details of this conversation! But what they do remember is that they added each other on Snapchat… where they ended up sending each other some flirty snaps here and there over the next couple of weeks, nothing crazy! Just a few weeks later, in the beginning of September, Jenna’s cousin Alexa, a mutual friend to Mike as well, texted Jenna stating “Jenna you and Mike Bakuckas need to get married.” This sparked some interest in Jenna, and the two of them quickly made plans to go for a drink that Friday at Ott’s in Medford. Since that night, September 6th, 2019, Mike and Jenna have been inseparable. They both had everything the other have been looking for, and they shared much more in common than they ever expected. They fell in love quickly. They made their relationship official just a few short weeks later on October 5th, and made it REALLY official by getting engaged on December 20th, 2023. Mike and Jenna are truly best friends, their relationship has made so much sense since their very first date. Mike and Jenna now share a dog together, the infamous Brantley, in their home in Hammonton. Mike and Jenna love spending time together by staying active, walking their dog all over town, running, bike riding, participating in races, etc. They also love spending time enjoying friends and family together, cooking, drinking wine, watching movies, and traveling. The two have planning their lives together for years, this is just the beginning of their next chapter as husband and wife!
