It was Cinco De Mayo 2010. Mark and I were enjoying a beautiful day in Hermosa Beach with our friends when our paths crossed. With Mark’s charming personality he joined my friends and I and ended up asking for my number. ❤️ We dated for about a year but the timing wasn’t right. In 2016 we reconnected and in 2019 he proposed! I was clueless! He had the ring hidden in our house for months! He had been talking to my mom and sister and planning to surprise me in front of my family on his favorite holiday, Thanksgiving! The rest is history! ❤️ Everything happens for a reason! ❤️
