Kian and Mark

Three years ago, Mark, a high school math teacher, and Kian, a speech and language pathologist with a special interest in sign language, joined the same kickball league and met on the field at Hecksher State Park in West Islip, Long Island. A pair of gym class heroes, Mark and Kian shared skills at this schoolyard game and hit it off right away. To celebrate their three-year anniversary, they went back to Hecksher State Park, played a round of Frisbee golf, and took a walk to the old kickball fields. Mark launched his drone into the air and then surprised Kian by showing off his newfound sign language skills. He proposed to Kian without saying a word, while his drone captured the moment from overhead. For once, Kian found herself speechless. She nodded and signed her answer: "Yes!"

I tried on over 50 dresses before I put this one on. It was the "this is it" moment everyone tells you about. It was different, classic and comfortable! The wedding day was the best day of my life, I've never smiled so much.
