Tika met Mark at a Halloween party — he was in a red full-body unitard, face painted like the Tinder flame. So it was technically a Tinder love story, and it's absolutely a good one. They bonded over salsa moves and travel stories, and after an on-again-off-again year of false starts, they eventually made it real. Since then, there's been a lot of laughter, dancing, adventure and dress up parties.

Mark proposed on a hillside in Tuscany and Tika started crying before he even got the words out. Mark says Tika makes every room brighter. She’s never in a bad mood and always resolves an argument within seconds. Tika says Mark fills the gaps in her life and makes her whole. Now with two boys and a home full of joy, they’re still living the adventurous life they always dreamt of—just with smaller dance partners and fewer hangovers.
