As a couple, Marybeth + Jason share a love for riding motorcycles, savoring delicious meals, and spending quality time outdoors with their beloved dog. Their engagement was a complete surprise for the bride, with Jason popping the question during a family beach vacation in OBX, North Carolina. He chose a breathtaking setting at a sand dunes state park, capturing the magical moment as a professional photographer immortalized it.
