Kris and Maria met at LA Fitness in Bakery Square while doing lunges in October 2018. Whilst they ignored each other for the first week, the second week was all planned by Kris. An Instagram DM from Kris inspired by a few liters at Hofbrau Haus led to their first date at Shady Grove. A considerable amount of Miller Lites later at William Penn Tavern and a swarming of Kris' friends wasn't enough to scare Maria away; the rest is history.
