Krista and Mark met in Arlington, VA about 12 years ago bringing two fine families together – one from the cosmopolitan region of Long Island, NY and the other from the gentile southern aristocracy of North Carolina. Again, showing that the co-mingling of European societies continues even into this modern era (Polish, Syrian, Italian, and Scotch English). Krista claims she comes from Turkish royalty (of course doesn’t everyone?) and Mark, being the more pragmatic of the two, will happily admit he comes from more humble beginnings from the old country. Krista and Mark have spent the last twelve years making wonderful memories spending time with family and friends, traveling to some very fun places, sharing their love for fine food and wine, cooking together, moving into their new home, and introducing their handsome labradoodle, Max, to their family. We’re looking forward to celebrating our wedding with you in May and making new memories together!
