How Did The Heck Did They Meet?

Mark is a graduate of Southeastern University with a degree in Music and a Masters degree in Social Work from Florida State. He likes classical guitar, music in general, video games (Halo is his favorite), and Magic the Gathering. Valynn is a graduate from the University of North Florida with a degree in International Studies. She like all things pink and cute, video games, and make-up. Your basic girly-girl, cheerleader. So how the heck did they meet? Through Amanda (Maid of Honor) Valynn learned of a group of people, commonly referred to as the Condo since they meet up in Matt and Eric's condominium and play video and board games together. They also happened to play an MMO (massively multiplayer online) game that Amanda told Valynn she'd like. So Valynn gave it a try...and loved it!! She also happened to meet a friend of theirs named Mark. They instantly found friendship and talked all the time (I'm talking hours on end). Not too long afterwards, Valynn and Amanda invited the Condo over to their parents house to enjoy some games and food. Everyone came and that's where Mark met Valynn in person. Now, as most of you know, Valynn is not a very tall woman (4'9") but Mark is tall (6'2") and so is the rest of the Condo group. Mark picked on Valynn and she picked back. These interations caused Amanda and Matt (a couple, Maid of Honor and Best Man) to realise that there may be something there. After the night of fun and games, and all the boys were gone, Amanda asked Valynn if she had like any of the guys, to which Valynn said "Oh, yeah, that Mark guy is pretty cute and funny." And, unbeknownst to Valynn, Matt had asked the same question to Mark to which he had responded with, "Yeah, I like her, she's cute." Matt urged Mark to make a move. Mark had then decided after hours of talking on the MMO and constant communication offline, that he wanted to ask Valynn on a date, to which she was absolutely thrilled for. That date was just the beginning of a long and loving relationship between two best friends!
