Mariel Swan, a preacher's daughter, was reared with the profound conviction that even the most intractable conflicts can be harmoniously resolved through open and effective communication, as well as a deep-seated understanding and respect for the perspectives of all parties involved.
During her collegiate years, Mariel's passion for dance led her to become a member of the esteemed Tennessee Titans cheerleading squad, where she forged an instant and enduring bond with her soon-to-be lifelong best friend, Whitney.
As the romantic relationship between Austin and Whitney began to flourish, Mariel and Paul found themselves increasingly drawn together, sharing countless hours of laughter, conversation, and adventure...and as the old adage so aptly puts it, the rest, as they say, is history.
