Mark and Amber were introduced by a mutual friend April 24, 2022.

Amber and Mark initially met for drinks before a Shinedown concert, but Mark talked to Amber's nephew more than he did to her. After the concert everyone was going back to Amber's house for drinks and to hang out and Mark was invited. However once back at Amber's the rest of the gang quickly disappeared, and nobody knew for sure if Mark was coming so Amber changed into Pajamas and washed her face and was just about to climb into bed when there was a knock on the front door... and there was Mark.

What should have been extremely awkward was not and turned into several hours of conversation. And the rest is history.
