They met at a dive bar called Skylark on 16th street in San Francisco, Marcella was the bartender and Chris worked at the bar before Marcella starting working there. Chris loved to come into the bar and talk to Marcella about his motorcycle and San Francisco. After Chris came back time and time again, Marcella finally decided to take him up on his offer to go on a date. They had their first date riding to the dock and enjoying the view of the Bay Bridge and its beautiful lights.
