We are ready to celebrate!

Mark and Kayla met on Match in December of 2020 while COVID was still pretty prominent, and within a month they were exclusive! They quickly fell in love as Mark was dragged along to see Christmas trees and lights throughout Washington DC and Kayla was conned into rooting for the Chiefs during football season (as long as the Steelers weren't playing). Throughout the years, they have traveled many places together seeing Lake of the Ozarks, meeting both families, and taking ski and beach trips. Coincidentally, Kayla and Mark hurt their left shoulders one year apart on different skiing trips, leaving them with adorable matching scars, and the understanding of how each person deals with difficult situations. Mark proposed in July of 2022 at one of their favorite places to hangout, on a waterfront in a historic area in Northern Virginia. They eloped in the Great Smokey Mountains in March of 2023! Over the last three years, they have loved two dogs, supported one another in school (Mark for his Bachelors Accounting and Kayla for a Doctorate in Physical Therapy), and have gone on countless adventures furthering their love of one another! Now they are looking forward to celebrating with family and friends!
