Our Wedding

Our story started like many modern romances today: online through an app (shoutout to Hinge!). One night in May of 2021, I came across Mark's profile. The picture that stood out the most to me (other than the one of him holding cute puppy, Pettitte) was the one of him pitching in pro ball. I sent him a message and asked "what was it like playing baseball professionally?" He answered that it was awesome and he was so grateful that he got the opportunity to play. I wrote back that it was really cool that he was drafted by the Mets because I have Mets fans in my family. I mentioned that I also had a grandfather who played second base for the Red Sox in the sixties. Mark, the big Yankees fan, decided to put the rivalry aside and asked me to meet him for happy hour that Friday. We met up at HG Supply Co. on Greenville Ave. in Dallas. On our first date we discovered that we had so much in common--including that both of our dads had worked together at L-3 in Arlington! The date went so well that we chatted for close to five hours without realizing it. The first date led to a second, and then a third. We started to spend more time together that summer, including many trivia nights at the brewery with friends. Mark and I were able to meet each other's families and some of each other's extended family as we both had cousins get married in August in the northeast. Later in the year, I was invited to Mark's parents' house for Thanksgiving, and Mark was invited to spend Christmas with my family in Nashville at my Aunt and Uncle's house. On Christmas Eve, our family went to church and then back to the house for pictures before our traditional Christmas Eve Feast of Fishes dinner. Mark asked me if he and I could get a picture out on the patio by the pool to send to his parents. As we walked outside, I was getting ready to have the picture taken, but Mark sneakily had another plan in mind. To my surprise and delight, he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! It is a Christmas Eve memory that neither of us will ever forget. And as they say, the rest is history.&nbsp; We cannot wait to celebrate our marriage with all of our friends and family!

"How'd you guys meet?"

Our Story

Photos

The younger, funnier sister.  Elise will gladly sing the soundtracks of "Hamilton" and "Wicked" with me anytime.  And more importantly, understand all my movie references.  She and my brother-in-law, Zack, just brought home an adorable Frenchie puppy, Stella!

Elise King

My older, surprisingly shorter, brother. We've become close friends over the years.  From going on our yearly March Madness trip, playing softball/golf together, even competing at who can make the best barbecue or baked goods. No love is lost since we all get to eat!

A.J. Picca

The best college roommate EVER.  And an even better friend. 
 Caitlin and I were sorority sisters at Baylor and became fast friends.  She's always up for watching football or basketball--primarily our Baylor Bears.  And also her favorite NFL team--CHIIEEEFFFFSSSS.

Caitlin Hurd

Justin and I grew up playing baseball together from the age of 10. One of my oldest/best friends and probably the hardest working person I know. In fact he probably picked up a new side hustle by the time I finished writing this bio.

Justin Tramp

A dear friend who is incredibly thoughtful (and a fabulous dinner party hostess).  Jane and I were sorority sisters at Baylor, as well.  We went to rival high schools, but thankfully, our paths crossed in Waco.  She consistently knows where the best shaved ice is in town and I am very thankful for that!

Jane Daniels

Another childhood friend that I met through baseball. We're not only great friends known to have world saving conversations, but also a deadly duo on the beer pong table where our prowess has been the stuff of legend.

Grant Buehrer

A close friend ALWAYS up for an adventure (and a Celine Dion concert).  Mollie and I were also sorority sisters at Baylor where we *dominated* on the intramural fields and courts.   She is consistently a great competitor in any game.  And a great half-marathon running partner!

Mollie Greenwood

Dixon and I met through Justin in college. It's unfortunate that every one of his sports teams (Cowboys, Rangers, UT) has decided to take a decade or two off from winning. But he's a loyal friend who's great to have in your corner. He'll even install a ceiling fan after Justin's attempt nearly catches your house on fire.

Dixon Holman

The newest Tobin.  Elizabeth just married a pretty okay guy recently (hehe)--my baby brother, Ronnie!  Elizabeth is a wonderful addition to our family and has a sense of humor that keeps even the grouchiest people laughing for hours!

Elizabeth Tobin

My brother-in-law to-be, Ronnie is a great guy who walks the line between goofy and mature. Looking forward to being in the same family, and testing the metal of this Apache pilot on the golf course.

Ronnie Tobin

The best youngest cousin.  Raquel can take a joke like a champ, which is great because that is a requirement in our family!  When she's not showing me the latest iPhone tricks, she's tearing it up on the basketball court, soccer field, or dance stage!

Raquel Gorman

We’ve know each other since college. Daniel is definitely one of my most active friends:  from working out, to golfing, to riding/jumping bikes on trails, and even getting me to run a Spartan Race with him. I’d like to say he’s reliable, but he chooses Pepsi over Coke, so who knows???
