Like many modern love stories, ours began in the most romantic place possible… work. Every great love story has a beginning, and ours started in a way neither of us expected. Mark was a police officer, and Alexandria was a dispatcher at the same department in New York. What started as casual conversations between calls gradually turned into a friendship. As they spent more time talking and getting to know each other, it became clear they enjoyed being around one another both on and off the job. That friendship eventually grew into a relationship built on mutual respect, plenty of laughs, and a shared understanding of the unique challenges that come with their line of work. Since then, they moved to Texas, built a life together filled with love, laughter, FOUR very spoiled dogs, and their favorite adventure yet: raising their daughter Addyson. The rest, as they say, is history. They’re excited to celebrate this next chapter with their family and friends!
