As most of you already know, we have known each other our entire lives. It didn't dawn on either of us that we were interested in one another till the braces came off, muscles started growing, and Nick was back from college...hitting on Markel's friends ;) However, Nick joined a family trip to Havasu, where he could no longer deny how awesome and fun Markel was. With Nick making lanyards out of reeds for the younger cousins, serving dinner to Markel's grandma, and Markel beating Nick in EVERY beach game, we knew it was a perfect match.
