Our Wedding

Her side of the story:It all began when I went to a Haunted House with Talynn, Matthue, Marcus and Hunter. I left that evening with a crush on Marcus, but kept it to myself. Shortly after that, in the middle of a thunderstorm and without power… Marcus and his friend Darin came into Mattheu and Talynn's house to try to scare us. We decided to all go cruise around in the storm and I told Talynn I had a crush on Marcus. Something about those two instances really got me crushing on him. Talynn then played matchmaker. We exchanged SnapChats and December 18th, 2021 Marcus got the courage to text me. Shortly after that… I asked him if he knew how to fix a doorhandle, this handy man did. So he came over to my apartment and fixed my doorhandle for me. Could I have figured out how to fix it myself?… probably, but why not have this cutie come over and do it for me… maybe he will stay and talk. Well he did and then I messaged all my friends, my sister, and my mom that “this is the man I'm going to marry, he’s the one”. When you know, you know. Everyday after that we spent time together and fast forward 2 months later I moved in with him. We worked on updates in our home, adopted our cute puppy Buxton, learned how to be dog parents together and then took our first big vacation together to Gulf Shores, Alabama. I was too worried about getting things unpacked from the suitcases to settle into the condo… apparently he was more worried about something else. He kept hollering at me to come out to the patio so I eventually walked out there and this man was down on one knee proposing. The beach, ocean waves, sunshine, and a RING on my finger… definition of perfect for me. What started out as just a crush, asking a friend to hook us up…..turned into us getting married and starting a life together.
