Let us take it back to 2009, Genesea was entering her first year in high school while Cory was starting his Junior year. They would see each other in passing, whether it was in the halls of Vista High School, or at parties that they weren't supposed to be at during the weekends. Eventually, they would be introduced to each other and became friends. Then, in the late spring of 2010, Cory gathered up the courage to ask Genesea to be his date for his senior prom, he showed up on her doorstep with a single red rose and asked her to be his date, and she said yes. During their prom night at Seaworld, Cory took Genesea on the sky tower, and used a cheesy line to try to get her to kiss him, of course, it didn't work. After high school, they went their separate ways. Genesea went on to college in Santa Barbara, while Cory began his career in construction. In 2018, Genesea had moved back to Oceanside and was living in her childhood home, while Cory was living in an apartment close by. Cory was looking for a new place to live, and as luck would have it, Genesea had a room available. Cory moved into the house in the spring of 2018, and it was the start of what would become a very close friendship between them. It didn't take long for that friendship to evolve into romance. Then, in the summer of 2019, they began dating. Genesea and Cory would find love for each other through travel, music, cuisine, humor, and their shared love for their cat, Lola. Three years later, in the summer of 2022, Cory got down on one knee during sunset on the Oceanside Pier, and asked Genesea to be his wife.
