Mark and Annie met on a sunny San Fransisco afternoon. Annie was traveling with the family she nannied for, and Mark was living in the Bay Area. An OkCupid message sparked the date that changed their lives. They spent the day meandering through the California Academy of Sciences and sitting in the park. Mark made fun of Annie every chance he got, refused to pay for her stuffed animal at the gift shop, and got mad when she spat gum in the bushes. It was pure magic and love at first sight. After a month of phone calls and text messages, Mark told Annie he loved her and she emphatically screamed that she loved him as well! The second date was a trip to Laos that Mark had been planning as a solo vacation. Annie decided that 10 days without talking to Mark was far too long and decided to use her savings to join him in Laos. It's been nothing but love ever since. The year of long distance, daily calls and texts, and the cross country road trip to move Mark to Philly have all led to this amazing moment. Come celebrate our love by bouncing the day away at our reception in San Diego!
