We initially went on a few dates when I was in college in 1999, but we lost touch. In January 2021, Marlon reached out to me on Facebook Messenger. He told me how he had never forgotten about me. He told me that he still lives in Abbeville but he visits Houston a lot because he has family here. He came into Houston that weekend but I didn't see him because I wanted to see how serious he was. So he came down again the following weekend and we met up that weekend for a couple of dates. He came in town again for the third weekend in a row. Afterward a few more dates, we decided to make our relationship official. Things quickly progressed, he admitted that he was in love with me and I confessed that I felt the same way about him. Friday, April 2, 2021, after washing my hands from eating crawfish, I came out of the bathroom and found Marlon down on the floor. I initially thought he was trying to scare me because I wasn't expecting him to propose that night, especially at that moment. I looked at his hands and saw that he was holding a ring and was actually on bended knee. He told me how much he loved me and he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me and asked me to marry him. Of course, I said Yes.
