Marissa and Drew met at Willie's Grill and Icehouse in the summer of 2014, and quickly became work friends. Drew changed all that when he asked Marissa out on a date with some push from fellow co-workers. Done in typical Drew fashion he forgot to ask her for her number! In typical Marissa fashion she made sure he got it before he left! Thus, their love story began!

Months prior on a shopping trip Drew and Marissa stopped in a jewelry store and found the perfect ring. During a family trip to New Orleans Drew got down on one knee with this ring and proposed. The newly engaged couple along with Marissa's family celebrated Mardi Gras style!
