Mark & Emily met during spring break 2013, at good old Briny's Irish Pub in downtown Fort Lauderdale, FL. Emily was with her friend Jackie, who is actually an old friend of Mark's from high school, and Mark was with his friend Brent, who also went to high school with them! Something about Emily, (maybe it was the fedora) caught Mark's eye and Emily thought he looked like a famous dancer that she loves. Instant sparks! After an epic first date to the Justin Timberlake/Jay-Z concert, Mark & Emily dated casually and then went their separate ways for a few years (the lost years, don't worry we laugh about it now!) but eventually found their way back to each other in November 2017. Mark proposed on November 20, 2020 with an incredible surprise and after a few "OMG's" Emily, of course, said YES! Between Mark's patience, intelligence, humor and loving heart and Emily's creativity, passion, artistic and adventurous spirit, they are truly the perfect balance for each other. They are looking forward to a wonderful celebration with you all, and cannot wait to begin the next chapter of their lives together!
