Lynn spent the first half of the summer of 2007 as schMickey schMouse (Don't sue us, Disney). Marker spent the first half of that summer touring Seattle and visiting with his brother. When they both went back to their home sweet home of Southern Indiana, they found jobs at Bath and Body Works. Lynn was an excellent salesperson and Marker was the stock boy. Mutual friends suggested they go out with one another and eventually they met for a cup of coffee at Starbucks. While talking at Starbucks, they found that they had much more in common than they expected. Three hours later, they decided that a proper date should follow. Marker wooed Lynn by cooking a full, homemade Italian dinner and had Frank Sinatra playing. They spent late nights that summer sharing in their love of Flight of the Conchords and a childhood affinity for Dorf on Golf. The rest is history!!

In December of 2016, Lynn and Marker had been together for 9 1/2 years and realized for tax purposes they should probably make this whole marriage thing official. Just kidding... It's actually because they loved each other very much and wanted to start their future together. They decided to shop for a ring together so that Lynn could pick out the perfect ring . Even though Lynn knew what her ring looked like and knew that it was coming, Marker still wanted the proposal to be special. He had big ideas, but had never been great at keeping secrets or planning things. When the ring finally came in, he decided it was just best to propose with the help of their dog, Jake. He wrote a long proposal talking about all the years they had been together and was still able to make the moment special. He then surprised Lynn with a fancy dinner at Lynn's favorite Italian restaurant in Chicago to celebrate and toast to the future!!
