Mike and April met while both were working at Trop Gun Shop. Mike was working as a Range Safety Officer and was behind the desk working, when he noticed April walk by taking product out to the floor to be stocked. About a week after that April was asked to help with the training classes and sat in on an instructor training with Ryan Coutts and Mark Hummel (both groomsmen) after they were all finished shooting April was sitting inside the range office and her and Mike started talking. There was an instant spark and connection. They started hanging out and talking more and more. There wasn't a day that went by where they weren't texting or talking to each other. About a month or two into hanging out and going out on dates. April made a bet with Mike that if he beat her at bowling (April is really bad at bowling, and Mike is REALLY good at it) then she will officially be his girlfriend. Of course Mike beat her at bowling (April "purposefully" threw a couple gutter balls just to make sure)
