Mark eventually proposed to Elizabeth during a flight to Maui, Hawaii. The couple got married after two years of dating in 2000. Their anniversary falls on the 19th of May.

Even after nearly 23 years, the pair has kept the spark in their marriage alive. Mark confesses that his love for Elizabeth has only grown in the last two decades. He considers himself the luckiest guy for getting the most beautiful and caring wife.

The Blanchard family faced a severe problem in 2022 when Elizabeth fractured her shin bones after suffering a fall. As per her Go Fund Me page, Blanchard was out to see a sunset when the accident happened. She wanted to take a picture of the sunset but realized that she had forgotten her phone at home. As she returned to bring her phone, she slipped on acorns and fell down a hill.

Her daughter Carmen shared an update on Elizabeth's health on November 23. In the Instagram post, Carmen had undergone surgery to place a 14-inch rod and multiple screws. She also added that the fracture would have a lasting effect on her back and health.

Due to her injury, Carmen and Mark had to take extended leaves from their jobs to take care of Elizabeth. To support the family financially during the troubling times, her friends Lara Larkin, Vanessa Valmont, and Rebecca Prephan set up a Go Fund Me page. The page has collected over $15 thousand from 153 donors.

As of February 2023, Elizabeth is recovering well. However, the doctors have advised her not to do heavy lifting until at least March.
