Once upon a time, Mara, started working her first job. This job happened to be at a store located at one of the biggest market & shopping areas where dreams come true. Little did she know, he own dream would come true as well! This young girl met a dashing young guy. As time went by, a group of friends was formed, where they found themselves being a part of. This group would frequently hang out at the various Disney World Theme Parks, and many after work-late night dinners, which caused these two to later become close friends. Months later, on Sunday, November 18, 2012, they met on that day, had a perfect date, confessed their feelings, and the rest is history.
After been together for over 6 years, going on 7 years. They both decided they more than ready to start a new chapter in their lives. The two went to this A-mazing restaurant in downtown Lakeland called Hooked on Harry's Seafood Bar & Grill. After having the most delicious meal of their lives (really!), they return to their home, where Jon kneeled down, and finally popped the question. Of course, without hesitation, Mara said YES!
