Kara & Mark

married on December 18th 2021

How we met and got engaged

“Mark and I actually met at a bar through a mutual friend. He came to the bar to meet someone else, but my star wars sweater caught his eye and he ended up talking to me the entire night instead.”

“Mark took me to Longwood Gardens with the same mutual friend that introduced us. I was wearing a VERY ugly Christmas sweater thinking we were just having a goofy night. I should have gotten the hint when he was decked out looking super handsome and not in a silly Christmas sweater like me. He proposed in front of the biggest tree there in front of hundreds of people – I never expected it.”

What were some of your favorite wedding day details/memories?

“Our memorial tree was probably my favorite. My mom passed, but it still felt like her, and all of our other family members who have passed were right there with us. ”

What were you inspired by while planning your wedding?

“Christmas! We started dating near Christmas. We moved in together for the first time and ended up buying our home all in December. Every huge date we have is in December/close to Christmas – so we totally were inspired by Christmas spirit! ”

“I made lots for my wedding! My signs, bouquets, save the dates, invitations, the ornaments for our memorial tree. If I could – I made it myself.”

What advice would you give to future couples planning their wedding?

“EAT. Everyone told me to sit down and eat and I was just so happy and excited I couldn’t get myself to sit and relax and eat. You pay a lot for that food – ENJOY IT!”

Is there anything else you’d like to share about your big day?

“That it was the absolute best day of my life.”
