Mark and Amanda's love story started with a swipe (right, of course!) Their first date was fully planned by Mark: watching the sunset at Sandy Hook, then eating wings and watching hockey at Off the Hook in Highlands. The rest is history. They quickly worked on building their lives together: Mark moving into Amanda and Squeaky's apartment, adopting more of their fur family: Storm, Snickers, and Goose, and buying a house together in 2021. They fill their time hanging out with family, friends, going to concerts, going on hikes, and lots of staying home and movie nights with the animals!
Mark and Amanda took a vacation to Maine in July of 2022 with their dogs, Snickers and Goose. On their second day exploring Acadia National Park, Mark proposed at the Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse. He asked an older couple to take a video of them, and dropped to one knee shortly after. Afterwards, they celebrated with a kayak ride on Green Lake. Amanda loves that both Snickers and Goose were there for the proposal (and pictures!)
