It all began on Halloween with an unexpected "Ciao" in Italy. Mickey was hosting a Halloween Party and Jesse was attending dressed as Blue from Blue's Clues. Mickey entered the room to give the haunted tour and that's when he saw her. He thought, "She is really cute, should I introduce myself?" She saw his devil mask and greeted him with a very enthusiastic "Bow-Ba-Bow!" (Hand gestures and all!) He immediately laughed and applauded the commitment to her character. Unbeknownst to Jesse, this was the moment that sparked his interest and led to their conversation later that night. Jesse didn't really notice Mickey until later in the evening when his mask had come off and he was serving drinks behind the bar. He asked what she'd like to drink, and being indecisive, she responded with, "Bow-Ba-Bow." Mickey thought again, how cute, but obviously that wasn't a drink, so he asked her again. She replied again as Blue but added a shrug. He still had no idea what she meant so he started listing things until she finally laughed and said "I have no idea, just make me something!" They continued to steal glances at one another all evening, Jesse being particularly impressed with Mickey's dancing, but friends and party hosting kept them apart. After dealing with some drunk friends and cleaning up the space, Jesse returned for a drink and they were finally able to have a real conversation and connect. They decided they would meet up the following evening for a date. Two countries, a few states, a lot of long distance, and some crazy adventures later, and here we are! A southern boy and girl who had to travel to the other side of the world to find true love!
