We're Getting Married

It all started in September 2009, in the bustling halls of Middle School 202. Mark and Elizabeth were just two students in a sea of faces, but fate had something special in store for them. They didn’t know it then, but that first encounter would mark the beginning of a journey that would change both of their lives forever. At first, they were just friends, sharing classes, lunch periods, and the occasional middle school conversation. They found themselves in the same social circles, and as the years passed, their friendship grew stronger. Mark had an infectious sense of humor, always making Elizabeth laugh, while Elizabeth had a kind heart and a natural ability to listen, always making Mark feel heard. They balanced each other perfectly. As the years went on, their friendship blossomed through the ups and downs of middle school and into high school. But through it all, they remained friends. Deep down, both knew there was something more between them. It wasn’t until September 4, 2014, when they finally took the leap. After years of friendship, they both realized they had fallen in love with each other, and that love was undeniable. It felt like the right time — the timing was finally perfect. And so, marking the beginning of a new chapter in their journey together. From that moment on, they were inseparable. Whether it was sharing quiet nights at home or embarking on exciting adventures together, their bond only grew stronger. They continued to support each other’s dreams, celebrate each other’s victories, and weather life’s storms side by side. The years passed, but the love between Mark and Elizabeth never wavered. On May 13, 2023, Mark asked Elizabeth a question that would change everything: “Will you marry me?” With a heart full of love and eyes filled with tears, Elizabeth said yes, knowing that this was the person she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. Now, as they prepare for their wedding, they look back on their journey — from friends in middle school to soulmates in life. Their story is a testament to the power of love, patience, and timing. After all these years, Mark and Elizabeth are more in love than ever, ready to take the next step on this incredible adventure together.
