Marcus and Victoria’s love story began in the most modern of ways—with a simple swipe right. What started as a few friendly messages quickly turned into late-night text threads, hours of phone calls, and countless FaceTime dates. At the time, Marcus was stationed in Tennessee, while Victoria was living in Ohio—ironically just around the corner from his childhood home, though they had yet to meet in person. After weeks of connection from afar, Victoria flew to Nashville for a weekend visit, and from the moment they were together, they both knew something extraordinary had begun. The year that followed was filled with road trips, meeting halfway in Cincinnati, and Marcus making frequent visits back to Ohio. Their lives eventually came together under one roof, and their love only grew stronger. On November 29, 2024, during a magical trip to New York City, Marcus asked Victoria to marry him—93 floors above the streets, atop the Vanderbilt building, with the city sparkling all around them. The rest, as they say, is just the beginning of their forever.
