Wedding Ceremony

The Reception

Dear Friends and Family:
 
We can&#8217;t wait to celebrate with you on our wedding day. We wanted to send a quick update about some changes. Instead of having the ceremony in Jamaica, both the wedding ceremony and reception will now be in Ocala, Fl. It was a difficult decision to make but travel is unfeasible at this time. We hope these changes don&#8217;t disrupt too much of your planning. Feel free to reach out with any specific questions. We are very excited for everyone to celebrate with us in Ocala, Fl. See you soon!
 
Love Mark and Nastassia
 
Please RSVP by March 1, 2024.

Our Wedding

Her story:It all started on Easter weekend 2019. I was invited to have Easter Dinner with my co-worker Pam and her family. It was there I was introduced to Pam's brother Mark. I was welcomed by everyone present and we participated in fun crafty activities while the food was cooking. Mark sat quietly on the opposite end of the long table that was set up in the courtyard for this Easter dinner tradition. I would glance occasionally to the end of the table, as I was intrigued. I was trying to figure out his personality. Well, he caught me looking at him and I made sure to refocus my energy to crafting. Many Sunday dinners and weekend barbecues later, I finally agreed to a date. Almost a year later, after many dates, we planned a trip to Key West. On our trip to Key West he insisted that we go see the southernmost point. We would get there around sunset as we had been driving for most of the day. We were waiting our turn to get a picture in front of the famous buoy as evidence of making it to this very popular landmark. Some very kind ladies offered to take our pictures for us. I was in the process of striking a pose for the pictures and then I realized Mark was down on one knee with a ring in his hand. He proposed and I said yes! Today we talk about all the places we would like to visit and explore. Our list is very long, and I am very excited for the adventure that awaits us! His storyShe was elusive and intriguing when I first saw her at a family gathering that my sister invited her to. She was accepted into the family before I even met her because of her charming demeanor. I caught her looking at me across the table and she pretended not to be. I tried for months to entice her into an encounter with no avail until one day, April 4th I proposed a scenario, a leap of faith that she could not refuse. From that day forth she has been my ride or die so I decided to reel in this prized catch and propose an everlasting union of our two adventurous souls on the southernmost point of the US, Key West, at sunset, and she said yes. And so begins our adventure together...&nbsp;
