They climbed the 216 steps and stood on the 140 foot observation deck overlooking the city, the sunset, and the ocean. Markus got down on one knee and asked Destenee to marry him. She of course said YES! The two are set to elope in Jamaica on October 6, 2022 which happens to be their 9 year anniversary.
