We met on a dating app in 2022 and went on our first date just a few weeks later. What started as a casual plan quickly turned into hours of conversation, laughter and sharing pizza. From that night on, it was clear this was something special. Being together felt easy, familiar, and like we had known each other forever. As time passed, our relationship grew through everyday moments, long talks, inside jokes, and the comfort of knowing we found our person. We became each other's best friend, biggest supporter and the reason coming home is always something to look forward to, second only to Rex🐾. No matter what we were doing, it was always better together. In July 2024, Mark proposed on a beautiful summer evening on the beach in Long Branch. Afterward, we returned to the very same restaurant where we had our first date to celebrate with our families, bringing our story full circle. Now we are counting down to October 8, 2026, as we prepare to begin our next chapter. We cannot wait to celebrate our love and our future with the people who mean the most to us! ❤︎
