One Saturday in June 2021, both Caroline and Marc set out for a walk on the Katy Trail (separately). Caroline took Dallas (her dog) to the trail for his daily walk while Marc was on the trail to meet up with a friend (Warren). Caroline got to the trail entrance point and started heading north on the trail (towards Knox St). After a few minutes of walking north, she decided to switch and walk south on the trail instead towards Katy Trail Ice House. Shortly after Ice House, Caroline approached one of the trail bridges with Dallas and there she noticed Marc sitting on the bench with Atlas (his dog). Caroline doesn't even fully remember what was said to Marc but Marc came over and they both started talking and decided to walk the rest of the trail together. As Caroline approached her exit point of the trail, she asked Marc for his number so they could do another dog walk in the future. Marc gave Caroline his number and then in the weeks following the two had regular walks with their dogs. Two months later, they had their first "real" date and the rest is history! The two dated for 2.5 years and in December 2023 Marc proposed at the Dallas Arboretum Botanical Gardens.
