It was the summer of 2017 and the smell of tacos was thick in the air. That's because Mika and Chris were at the first ever Taco, Beer, and Tequila Festival in DC, each brought there by separate friends who knew each other. Chris and Mika were ready to meet the taco of their dreams, but instead, they found each other. The taco lines were very, very long. Mika remarked that she knew the singer in the live band that was playing. Chris thought that if Mika knew someone who sang in a band that performed at the taco festival, she must be worth getting to know herself. After the Taco Fest ended, they headed to a local brewery and spent the rest of the night talking about Game of Thrones. Little did they know, the last season would be an absolute disaster. At the end of the evening, Chris asked Mika for her number. He texted the next day to set up their first date, and the rest is history.
