We're getting married!

Mark was new to the Marietta area after moving to start a new job. He was closer to friends and was able to hang out more, but his work schedule consumed all his free time. When we started online dating, we ended up matching very quickly. We were into each other immediately once realizing we went to the same college, had several of the same interests, and equally embarrassing stories of how we tore our ACLs. Kelly put the meet on hold after Mark shared he was going to be having knee surgery in a couple of weeks. He was so persistent messaging her during that time that she almost blew him off but she's so glad she didn’t! Fortunately for Kelly (but unfortunately for Mark), he was out of work from tearing his ACL so that opened up his schedule for us to meet. After two weeks, we decided to get together on a Wednesday evening. At the time, Kelly was running a high school girls group at her church that went a little over that night. Kelly is never late for anything, especially Mexican food with a cute guy. But on this particular night, Mark arrived early and she was running behind. She pulled into La Parilla a little fast and almost ran over this ridiculously handsome guy hobbling in on his crutches. As Mark scrambled to find the curb, Kelly rolled down the window and frantically apologized with a big smile on her face hoping that would make up for it. Mark claims that’s when he knew Kelly was someone special just by her mannerisms and the humor of the situation. We had a great dinner where we discussed our interests and lives further. From day one, we both knew we had found the perfect match. Kelly is so glad Mark continued to hobble into her life after that night! #ThanksHinge
