If you were to ask either Maverick or Murfi how they met, neither one of them would be able to give you a specific answer. Murfi remembers that she and Maverick had met sometime during her freshman year at Texas Tech, probably through mutual friends at church, and Maverick remembers seeing a flash of platform Tevas and some obnoxious t-shirt at a community group that he went to because he wasn't able to attend his usual community group the day before. It wasn't until Murfi's sophomore year and Maverick's junior year that they became actual friends and spent more time together. The initial bonding happened over late nights studying at Market Street until 2AM, church gatherings, and board-game hangouts with friends. In late April, Maverick tactfully asked Murfi, while they were studying together at J&B Coffee, if she wanted to go on a date sometime, to which Murfi said yes and, "Took you long enough." On the end of their second date, on March 8th, they became official official.

Maverick and Murfi would spend the next two years and some change getting to know each other better, becoming better people, and attempting to honor God in dating (as well as they could figure out what that even meant). They read some books together to remind themselves that they're literate, decided that it was funny to call each other "Sweaty," shared plenty of Papa Johns pizza, and learned new ways to love each other better. Maverick, the old man that he is, decided to graduate from Texas Tech at the end of 2020 and start a new job in Tucson, Arizona soon after, so the two were begrudgingly forced to learn how to use Microsoft Teams' video chat feature for communication.

Maverick and Murfi had not seen each other in three months since Maverick moved to Tucson, so it was a big surprise when Murfi was taking pictures with friends Kristen and Kaylee and heard the crunch of footsteps in grass behind her proceeded by Maverick's voice saying, "Hey Murfi." She turned around, he got on one knee and popped the question, and Murfi yelled, "I FREAKING KNEW IT!" (She did, in fact, have a suspicion that he was going to show up that day, because she is very smart, but it was still a nice surprise, in Maverick's defense.) She then said yes, of course, and now there's a wedding coming up.
