Kendall and Mark met on a dating app during the pandemic. Despite living 300 miles apart, their connection grew quickly through countless phone calls, texts, and Friday night FaceTime happy hours. Their virtual connection soon led to a romantic first date in Houston at The Rustic.

After relocating to the Lone Star State, Mark began planning the perfect proposal. He chose a romantic Fredericksburg winery as the backdrop for this special moment to ask for Kendall’s hand in marriage. As the couple went to a wine tasting to celebrate, Kendall was surprised by their parents, who were waiting to congratulate the couple.

On June 8, 2024, Kendall and Mark exchanged vows in a traditional church ceremony in Houston. Kendall made her way down the aisle with scrunchies adorning her ankles, lovingly crafted by her mother with fabric from her grandmother’s wedding dress.

The celebration continued at the Petroleum Club of Houston, with breathtaking skyline views of downtown. Guests were welcomed with a photo display showcasing old wedding photos and love stories of the couple’s parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents—Kendall’s tribute to their families. The pastel color palette echoed throughout the reception, with hand-painted candles, table numbers, and place cards all lovingly crafted by Kendall and her mother. Before joining their guests, the couple shared a private dinner, during which Kendall surprised Mark with a slice of pumpkin pie made from his grandmother’s cherished recipe—a sweet nod to her memory. The numerous heartfelt touches and personal details made Kendall and Mark’s magical day unforgettable.
