our forever begins

Our Story Caitlin and Mark met freshman year at St. John’s University when they were seated next to each other in science class. They quickly found that they had an easy connection and could talk and laugh together without really trying. What started as a friendship soon became something more, and before long, their everyday routine was pretty simple: go to school, go to Parsons, see each other, repeat. When COVID hit, the world around them came to a standstill, but their relationship only grew. They spent countless days and nights talking, playing games, laughing, and staying on the phone until the sun came up. They would fall asleep talking, wake up hours later, and somehow do it all over again. Even though they couldn’t experience life together the way they normally would, that time gave them the chance to really get to know each other and build a connection that went far beyond simply spending time together. As the years went by, Caitlin and Mark grew up together and shared countless holidays, birthdays, family milestones, adventures, and memories. From college days to navigating life after graduation, they continued to build a life together and create memories they knew they’d look back on forever. On December 28, 2025, their next chapter began when Mark proposed during a trip to Portugal and Milan. After years of growing together, laughing together, and making memories along the way, they’re now getting ready for the adventure they’ve been waiting for: Becoming husband and wife. And they can’t wait to celebrate the beginning of forever with the people they love most.
