Our Wedding

Mark and Stacey met online, both open to the possibility that something special might be waiting just around the corner. Stacey had moved to California from New Jersey, eventually making her way from Los Angeles to San Diego and then settling in Carlsbad. Mark grew up in Arizona and spent time living in Northern California before making his way to San Diego as well. Stacey eventually met Mark’s wonderful daughter, Kate, and life found a new rhythm together.As their relationship grew, so did their family. Stacey came with her dog, Bruno, joining Mark, Kate, and their dog Khan. Stacey may have worried about how Bruno would do around Kate, but it turns out there was nothing to fear. Bruno and Kate became instant besties. And not long after, Stacey and Kate became besties too.Today, Mark, Stacey, and Kate share a life filled with love, laughter, and adventure. Whether they are exploring new places, spending time with their pups, or enjoying the simple moments together, they are excited to keep building a beautiful life side by side as a family.
