Rebecca and Max met Freshman year of high school sitting next to each other on the first day in English class. After speaking throughout all of class, later that day, Rebecca friended Max on Facebook to then receive a Facebook message that said "Who is this?" Rebecca and Max went on to be best friends in high school and to Max's chagrin, only start dating senior year. Through Israel, Wisconsin, the army, and many twists in the road, Max and Rebecca continued to love each other.
