Mick and Jess met in October 2021 on a beautiful fall day at Kruckers Oktoberfest - where all true romance begins. Thank goodness they both said yes to their respective mutual friends to hang out this day, the stars really aligned (saying no was not in the cards, neither one of them can deny a beer garden.) As the day progressed and the beer was flowing, they got to chatting and eventually Jess helped Mick smuggle a full stein of beer out of the establishment. And then the rest is history. They had their first date not even a week later where they didn't win (but didn't lose) a trivia night at Halsey's in Astoria. Mick ordered a french fry sampler platter and Jess has been infatuated ever since.
