We're Getting Married!

Mario and Mariah's story began 9 years ago, freshman year of high school. They had mutual friends, so naturally they intertwined their circles. Mario always made a point to make Mariah laugh any chance he could while Mariah was naive to his flirty behavior. After high school they went their separate ways... or so they thought. Fast forward to 2022, Mario reached out to Mariah asking to get coffee at her favorite coffee shop and they picked up right where they left off. From then on, every time Mario was visiting from college they would always make time to see each other. The summer of 2023 is where their love story evolves. Mario professes his feelings for Mariah, asking her if the feelings were mutual. Fearful of the idea of doing long distance, she responded "I'll let you know how I feel in December when I see you next." As September came around, Mariah decided to call Mario to let him know that the feelings were very much mutual and she was open to the idea of a long distance relationship. After many 3-5 hour phone calls, they finally went on their official first date on October 1st. Some would say it was straight out of the movies. They had a picnic on the beach, with the sunset in the background, where they shared their first kiss. 9 days later, they started dating on October 10th. They've been inseparable since!
