We're getting married!

Once upon a time, there were two souls whose paths first crossed 15 years ago at work. At the time, neither could have imagined how deeply intertwined their lives would become. In 2022, God brought them together, rekindling a bond that had quietly endured through the years. Their reunion felt like destiny, a reminder that some connections are too strong to fade with time. They quickly realized the friendship they shared deepened, and now they were ready to embrace what the future would bring. Alton & Marlena’s story unfolded with a kind of romance rooted in deep respect and tradition. On December 25, 2023, Alton asked for Marlena’s hand in marriage in the most heartfelt and respectful way—seeking the blessing of her parents beforehand, and showing his commitment not just to her, but to the family she came from. Alton’s family welcomed Marlena by embracing her as part of their circle, further solidifying their unity. Alton & Marlena along with Mia, Max, and their dog Rosie have created a home full of love. As they prepare to marry, they are filled with excitement and anticipation for the future. Their love, built over years of growth, trials, and deep connection, has made them stronger.
