Our Story

APRIL 20, 2014

A few days before spring break in 2014, Mark liked a post that Tara posted on Facebook, she sent him a friend request, he sent her a message. They quickly realized that she has family in his hometown, and his family has a house an hour away from where she grew up. From there, Tara went to Texas for spring break and Mark spent the week in Utah, but they spent the week texting each other from sun up to sun down. Both came back to school a day early, bonded over their mutual love of whiskey sour and pizza, and the rest is history. After dating for 5 years, criss crossing the East Coast, and adopting an adorable dog, Mark asked Tara to marry him while on vacation in Ocean City, New Jersey. See you at Killington!

For all the days along the way
