In spite of having many friends in common and rubbing shoulders at a handful of parties, Mary and Walter somehow failed to meet. Father Luke Mata knew Mary and Walter from an early age and felt compelled to speed things along and introduce them. Unbeknownst to Walter, the day he first reached out to Mary was none other than her birthday...a small coincidence that gave Mary a birthday present she would never forget. After exchanging a few messages, Mary finally agreed to go on a blind date with Walter, and the rest is history as they say!
