They met in the summer of 2005 while Mark played on the same travel baseball team as Gina’s brother. Like any 13 year old girl who played softball, Gina went to practically every game and loved it! She eventually stole his number off the team phone chain and after countless phone calls, it wasn’t too long until they started hanging out and dating. Their entire relationship has been long distance since they never went to the same high school or college, and shortly after college, Mark got a job in Wisconsin. And finally, after 8 years (and 10 months), these two tied the knot two Saturdays ago! Mike and I couldn’t have been more excited to share in their excitement (since we shared a similar story and excitement 3 years ago when we got married)! Mike and I hit if off right away with these two and are convinced we’d be the best of friends if they didn’t just move to Wisconsin (but we do plan to visit them when we head out that way for Miller Park)! Their wedding day was just perfect, and we are super excited to share our favorites with you from their big day!

Gina and Mark, we love you guys and feel so honored to have been a part of your wedding day! You two are some of the most joyful people we know and we wish you all the best as you start your new life together in Wisconsin!

Loved these ladies!

The inside of Mark’s ring was wood! Loved this!

Seriously, girl! You are so gorgeous!

Right before the ceremony they met on either side of a corner and exchanged gifts.

Then they prayed…and I cried.

First Kiss!

And, they are married!!!

We headed downtown for some city shots!

Watch out…love this!

Such naturals!
