Marley first laid eyes on Tom when he walked into MADabolic (the strength-training gym Marley is GM at) and thought "oh dear, who is that?!"
Fast forward a couple weeks of Marley trying to play it cool & Tom being Tom, and finally Marley asked Tom out for tacos. Tom being Tom, thought it was a "client-retention tactic"... especially when Marley volunteered to pay. Marley had other intentions.
Tom finally got the hint when she invited him over to help assemble some furniture for a local airbnb she was managing, and the rest is history.
Our relationship has continued to grow stronger as we've prioritized our physical & mental health, family, relationship with God, and each other.
After just shy of 2 years of dating, Marley planned a birthday weekend for Tom in Casar, NC at the Red Skoolie AirBnB, which Tom sabotaged and turned into their engagement weekend. It was filled with everything "on brand" for Marley & Tom - glamping, their dogs, relaxing, and a hike that ended at a waterfall.
The waterfall, named High Shoals Falls, is where Tom got down on one knee & asked Marley to spend forever with him. After shedding a ton of happy tears, Marley said YES!
We are absolutely overjoyed to celebrate our marriage with our families & friends. We are incredibly thankful to have you all in our lives, and we wouldn't be where we are today without you all.
With all the love (& some roll tides and go dawgs),
-Marley & Tom
