Fall

Our Wedding

It all started in the Meritage parking lot. Mark was catching up with a friend when Katelyn happened to drive by, looking for a place to park. As she pulled in, their eyes met for just a moment—but it was enough to stir something in Mark. He paused mid-conversation, visibly caught off guard. His friend, West, asked if he was alright. Mark was trying to place where he knew her from. Later, a little sleuthing on social media revealed the connection: they had once played in the same sports league. Armed with that memory, Mark sent her a message. Katelyn responded, a little unsure—she hadn’t recognized him. But when Mark asked if she wanted to hang out, curiosity led her to say yes. They met at Goddark Park for a walk with Katelyn’s dog, Indi. That first hangout turned into another, and then another. Over the next few months, they kept spending time together. Slowly, as Katelyn began to open up, she realized something powerful: she deserved someone kind, someone steady, someone like Mark. And once she let her guard down, she found herself falling in love. What followed was a whirlwind of adventure and joy—trips to Florida, sun-soaked days in Costa Rica, lazy boat rides, and dinners that turned into long, laughter-filled nights. Their bond only deepened with time. On the last warm day of 2023, Mark planned one final boat ride for the season. Just the two of them, out on the Whaler, gliding across the water near the lighthouse—the very place he says he first knew he was in love with her. And there, under the soft glow of the setting sun, he proposed. They set their wedding date, hearts full and futures aligned. And in a beautiful twist of fate, they decided to try for a baby before the big day. Soon after, they welcomed their son—the most beautiful baby boy, Winsor—and their world expanded with even more love. Now, with their little one in their arms and a celebration on the horizon, Mark and Katelyn are ready to share their joy with all the people they love most. On August 2nd, they’ll say "I do" surrounded by friends, family, and the story that brought them together.
