Mark and Catherine knew each other through mutual friends from college--they both went to Notre Dame. They had even met a few times in Chicago throughout the years (most memorably at a Steelers Bar in Chicago on New Years Day!) But they didn't *really* meet until they both moved to New York in 2017-Mark for residency and Catherine for law school! The two reconnected on a first date at a bar on a boat in the Hudson River called Grand Banks--the rest was history!
