Believe it or not our love story goes back all the way to junior high school. As you can guess, that puppy love didn't last long. Living in a small town, we always had the same friend group. All through high school we remained mutual friends. They say timing is everything. Me and marks relationship is a true testament to that. We rekindled our flame the summer of 2013 at the Sangomen County Fair. Our night at the fair turned into the perfect summer love story. We have been together every since.

The engagement happened while opening presents around the Christmas tree with Cassie's family.
