Marcus and Elizabeth met on a beach in Santa Barbara, California. They were both pretty nervous as they only saw pictures of what each other looked like. After the awkward "hello" and hug, they sat down on a blanket with a six pack of beer to ease the nerves of a first date. As the date went on, Elizabeth realized that she had never laughed or smiled more on a date. While Marcus cracked jokes, he couldn't believe Elizabeth's beauty and smile. He was in absolute awe of her. However, Elizabeth couldn't read Marcus as he was socially awkward and looked really nervously cute. But she realized he was the perfect gentleman. They listened to country music and watched the sun go down. Before they knew five hours passed by, and it was time to say goodnight. It was obvious they both did not want the night to end, but they got in their cars and went their separate ways. They did not know that June 9, 2018 would be the last first date they would go on. The rest is history!
