We met in the spring of 2022 at a weekly Bible study hosted by a mutual friend. What began as casual conversations after group quickly blossomed into something deeper. One evening, Mark asked me to go on a romantic moonlit stroll at Robious Landing Park-and that night, everything changed. We shared an instant, undeniable connection and made it official shortly after. Over the past three years, we’ve shared countless adventures together-exploring beaches and mountains, hiking, camping, kayaking, and chasing thrills at amusement parks. Each moment has brought us closer and deepened our bond. Then, on February 14, 2025, among the beautiful paintings at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Mark turned to me and invited me to go on our greatest adventure yet: marriage. We’re so excited to begin this next chapter as husband and wife, and we feel incredibly grateful to have you-our beloved friends and family-by our side to celebrate this special moment in our lives.
