In 2017, Mark and Kelsey took a big step and moved into a house in Wheaton together. Of course, they couldn’t forget about the two cats (Pickles and Finn) making it a home of four.

On October 24, 2020 their adventures continued as Mark took Kelsey on a walk around the nearby St. James Farm in Warrenville. After needing to do a few laps around the grounds, Mark led Kelsey into the ‘tree alley’. Here he asked her to marry him. She said YES!

And on June 25, 2022 they will tie the knot and become husband and wife. Mark and Kelsey are looking forward to seeing all of you at their wedding and can’t wait to continue to share their lives together with many more adventures to come!
