Our Story
Lily & Mark
Mark and Lily met in 2024 through an introduction by a mutual friend who knew the two shared similar values. The primary relationship challenge was one of geography as West Palm Beach and Orlando are separated by ~3 hours by car. God bless the Brightline rail, a high-speed passenger train, which directly connects the two cities and stops right in front of Mark’s apartment.
The two officially became a couple following a day trip to the historic St. Augustine, Florida where the two visited the first Catholic Church in the U.S. of the same name, and Castillo de San Marcos, the oldest fort in the continental U.S. used to defend Florida and the Atlantic trade route. Upon returning to Orlando that late that night, Lily’s home key had mysteriously disappeared. Mark sprang into action remembering many episodes of the 1990’s drama MacGyver and unlocked the door. It was love.
Over the next year, the two would split weekends between Orlando and West Palm Beach. Lily would take Mark to mass at her beloved St. James Cathedral in Orlando. While in the Palm Beach area, the couple would often hike to and from the various beaches catching as many sunsets as possible.
Mark would take his first trip to California to meet Lily’s family in May of 2025. To the surprise of Lily’s sisters, they in fact did NOT “scare” Mark away. Lily would visit Wisconsin for her first time in July of 2025 and would meet Mark’s brother Ryan, sister-in-law Victoria, and three boys, Cameron, Connor, and Brooks. Lily still refuses to visit Wisconsin during the winter months.
Mark proposed to Lily on October 17th. Following the wedding, the couple plans to move to Jupiter, Florida where they can be near St. Jude Catholic Church and the beach.
