Mark and I have known each other for about 5 years because we worked in the same hospital. Although we worked in different departments, we would always say hello in the hallways. A friendship that changed into a relationship on 08/20/2014, when we went on our first date. Even though the date involved a terrible movie, it started a great relationship. On December 7th, Mark brought me out to the beach for a weekend on Sanibel. I should have realized Mark was up to something because he wanted to walk on the beach. In our whole relationship, he has never wanted to walk on the beach! When the sun started to set, Mark got down on one knee and proposed. We came back to the hotel to find our families waiting for us. In a few months on November 23rd, we will say our vows on the beach surrounded by family and friends.
