It all started back in August of 2022 at the local dancehall. Marlene was having a girls night out, and Tommy was having his guys night out. Naturally the groups intermingled through the night. Tommy finally asked Marlene for a dance. And right after she caught him saying to his friends, "I should've asked her to dance sooner." From then on, every time they saw each other at the dancehall they would always dance together. After a few months of dancing and a friendship, they finally decided to go on their first official date together. From the first date they knew they were meant to be together, an instant best friendship started. Leading to a proposal where they spent the day at canyon lake, wake boarding, and jumping off the cliffs into the water.
