Jaime and Mark

mwa102820_sum07_couples.jpg

You might say that Jaime and Mark's first date was more of a play date. Their parents were old friends, and the two had been buddies since childhood, growing up together on the island of Jamaica. Since their families were so intertwined, the pair dated for three months before telling their mothers, who, though pleased, advised them to be cautious. You can probably guess the rest of the story. These two eventually fell in love and married among coconut palms and a gaggle of mutual friends.
