The bride and groom first met while standing up in the same wedding together. Mark was the best man and Hillary was a bridesmaid. They reconnected a few years later and it has been a fairy tale ever since!
After dinner Mark convinced Hillary to take their energetic dog Duke for a walk through the woods. At dusk Mark led her to his favorite spot in the woods where he had set up a beautiful display of lights for her. He proposed with a ring box that he carved himself and branded with their future initials. He got down on one knee while "Die A Happy Man" by Thomas Rhett was playing. With happy tears flowing Hillary said "YES!"
