The day Jessie realized she is the luckiest, and most oblivious, person ever!

Mark had been planning the proposal for months. He made countless trips back and forth from Long Island to Hoboken to find a ring with his Mom, asked Jessie's Dad for his permission, told all of their friends, and planned the engagement party. Jessie had no idea.

The day finally arrived and Mark, forever the planner, was confident everything was in order. He had seeded the fake plan - a fancy dinner at a restaurant in Spring Lake - and told Jessie they should go early to take pictures.

But Hurricane Henri had other plans. Instead, Mark and Jessie got dressed up and decided to take a walk to the local Manasquan beach a few hours before the hurricane’s arrival. There, Mark asked Jessie to marry him on a beach where they have spent so many of their summers and which happened to be spitting distance from where their relationship began: the Osprey.

AND SHE SAID YES!

Mark and Jessie's families and friends were waiting for them at the Merone's shore house to celebrate after and they cannot wait to celebrate with you!
