Brittany and Mark met as coworkers at Norco Animal Hospital in 2015. Mark let Brittany borrow his copy of The Princess Bride (because Mark was shocked that she'd never seen it before), and from there they started texting and hanging out. Mark was a supervisor, so they kept their relationship quiet for almost a year and a half! Eventually they told their coworkers, and everyone was supportive (and not very surprised).
Mark and Brittany were on vacation at Brittany's parents' house in Orange County. With the help of Brittany's family, Mark proposed in their backyard. Mark and Brittany's sister, Alegra, decorated the backyard beautifully with candles, rose petals, balloons, and signs. Mark was nervous, but Brittany said "YES!" before Mark could even finish asking "will you marry me?" Being surrounded by family made this next big step even more special. We are so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you!
