Caiti and Mark met in the Fall of 2015 as first-year students at Seton Hall Law School. They started off as friends but, as the school year went on, Caiti and Mark grew to admire each other during long nights studying at the library, games of pool in the student lounge, and lunches with law school friends. Caiti appreciated Mark for his quick wit and passion, while Mark thought Caiti had a great sense of humor and was down-to-earth.
Around February 2016, Caiti and Mark's law school friends noticed that there was more than friendship between them and encouraged the two to take a chance on each other. Luckily, Seton Hall did a great job teaching their students persuasion and advocacy because Caiti and Mark listened. Mark asked Caiti to be his girlfriend in a Seton Hall Law School study room and the two have been together ever since.
Over the last five years, Caiti and Mark's love for each other has grown through all the experiences and hardships that they have shared. Mark has helped Caiti through the hard times like the bar exam, her type one diabetes diagnosis and, worst of all, the New England Patriot's unlikely fourth-quarter Super Bowl comeback against the Atlanta Falcons. And Caiti has introduced Mark to the joys of afternoon baseball games at Yankees Stadium, Neil Young's album "Harvest," and the North Fork of Long Island.
On October 12, 2020, Mark asked Caiti to marry him in Saratoga Springs, New York with the ducks at Congress Park as their witnesses. Caiti said yes and can't wait to say yes to more adventures with Mark in the years to come.
