So, me and Mark go way back to 2010 when we were in middle school. He was in 8th grade and I was in 7th, but we didn't really know each other that well. Fast forward to 2012 when he moved back from Florence and we started getting closer. I was a Freshman and he was a Sophomore, and even though we didn't hang out in school, he started hanging out with my friend group outside of school. We were always flirting, but nothing really happened until one day in 2015 when I decided to take a chance and ask him to hang out one on one. And boy, did we hit it off! We became the best of friends and had so many fun times together, like fishing at his grandpa's property and taking the dogs out to the lake, or just having movie nights in and dinner dates with long talks.


Then, on April 27th, 2015, we started dating and it was the start of something amazing. We made so many more memories together and our bond grew stronger and stronger. And then, on July 2nd, 2021, at the same place where we had our first date, Mark asked me to marry him and it was one of the happiest days of our lives. We've been planning our wedding for the past 3 years, but we also just bought our first home in February 2023! We're so excited to have you all along for this crazy ride with us and we can't wait to celebrate our 9 years of crazy love with all of you at the wedding!
