My fiancé Mark and I met on July 15th, 2018. Mark was born and raised in New Jersey, and I was born and raised in Oregon. Mark moved to Portland, Oregon for a temporary job for the summer of 2018. While both out at a Portland, Oregon bar we both loved, and the only one we each visited that night, our eyes locked and it was like love at first sight! Mark approached me, ordered us drinks, we talked til closing and were together all summer after our first official date the following week. Mark ultimately decided to remain in Portland, Oregon past the summer, and we have now been together for about 5 years, engaged for over 1 year, and will be married in his home state of New Jersey on our sixth anniversary of the magical night we met, July 15, 2024. We can’t wait to spend our lives together and build a beautiful family ❤️
