Maria & Mark| Our Story
Tell us how you first met. Maria: Mark and I met through mutual friends while out one night dancing. I was attracted to him because he was dancing with absolutely no inhibition!
When did you know he/she was the one? Maria: I can’t really pin point it. It grew with our relationship. He was the first person outside of my family that could talk me through stressful times and really make me feel better.
Tell us about the proposal. Maria: He and his son performed and choreographed dance routine! It was the perfect proposal for me. They danced in unison at first, Justin did his solo and left the room, Mark did his solo and clapped twice and a little black box flew through the air. Mark caught it and opened it up and asked me to marry him! I couldn’t breathe! I was freaking out!! Justin was jumping up and down yelling “we are getting married!!” over and over and Mark was looking at me saying, “Are you saying yes?!?” I said yes, obviously.
Tell us the one thing you love most about each other. Maria: I love Mark most of all because he is knows exactly what to say when I am feeling nervous or upset and he is always very kind to everyone.
If you feel comfortable, share with us something silly or quirky the other person does. Maria: I think I am the quirkier one, is really good to take his coffee mug out to the kitchen every morning but for some reason he ALWAYS leaves the spoon he used to stir his coffee behind!
Besides getting married –‐ what’s the one thing you are looking forward to on your wedding day? Maria: Dancing!
What’s your favorite trend for weddings right now? Maria: like the style of pictures now, they are more real and less posed.
What inspired your décor or theme? Maria: I am a Balboa swing dancer, a style of dance that started in the 20’s! I love vintage style.
Are there any special details for your wedding day that are sentimental and if so why? Maria: They are numerous, from the location to small details in my outfit, we are putting a lot of memory to family members who have passed away.
What’s one thing you wish you would have known earlier in regards to planning? Maria: That I could hire a wedding planner for just the day of. I was maid of honor yesterday in my friend’s wedding and it was very aggravating the amount of things she had to think of the day of.
