Carrie and Mark met at work, but it wasn’t until the Christmas season that they truly got to know each other, and their love blossomed from there. Mark proposed to Carrie on the beach and then surprised her with friends and family waiting on them at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse. The ceremony was held at First Presbyterian Church in Myrtle Beach, and it had a North meets South theme. They live in Carolina Forest.
