Mark and Emma

When we met, Mark said he met his life; not wife. We’ve been each other’s life and best friend 31 years and will be the rest of our lives.

How did your love story begin?

Mark sat down beside me on a flight from Dallas to Houston. He later said I was in his seat, but that wasn't true. We briefly talked on the flight, exchanged numbers, talked for a few months, went on our first date January 6, 1995, and married 3 months later!

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

There are really too many to select just one, but I arranged for us to see his favorite performer, Celine Dion, in Las Vegas. He states that it is his favorite thing I have ever done for him, and he tears up when he talks about it!

What would you do with $20,000?

Mark would like to live in Thailand. I would arrange for us to visit again and see if there is something we could purchase. That would make his dream come true!
