The beginning of our Love Story

Meet Cute

The first time we met was at a bar to see a band called That 90's Band play. Mark's group of friends included one of my best friends Christine. It was a brief introduction but enough that I knew I wanted to hang out with these people more and enough for Mark to remember the shirt I was wearing that night. The following weekend the same group of friends were going out to SantaCon. SantaCon is a bar crawl through Fountain Square that happens the first week of December each year. I planned my outfit all week but Adam and Warren had to drag Mark out of the house. They tell me they convinced him to go by telling him "Christine's friend is supposed to be there!" The party got started without me because I went to the Perry Meridian v Greenfield Basketball Game in Greenfield. Yes, I was dressed in my Santa Outfit and I made Brittany drop me off in Fountain Square to meet up with the other Santa's. The first place I joined them was at New Day. We didn't stay there long before heading to Revolucion. The group decided that they wanted to eat here so we pulled some tables together and sat down. I remember sitting across from Adam and Lyn and having an empty seat beside me. Mark was standing behind Adam and I looked at him, pointed and said "Hey! You, sit here!" and then pointed at the empty seat beside me. And of course, Mark said "Ok." I glanced over at Adam and he turned to Lyn, his eyes got big and he nodded my way as if to say "Did you see that? I told you so!" How did HE know because I sure didn't! That was the first time we actually talked to each other. Our next stop was across the street at Radio!Radio! where the Spazmatics were playing. After an hour or so of dancing and having one of the best nights in forever, I walked over to Mark and said "Hey, give me your phone." and of course he said "Ok." I put my number in his phone and gave it back. I told Christine at the end of the night the "Ball was in his court." Three weeks later, we went on our first date 12/23/17
