In February of 2018, Marielle and her sorority sisters from Hofstra took a ride down to Long Beach for a night of drinks and dancing at The Inn. This was one of Toms favorite spots! That night, Tom spotted Marielle from across the bar and had to introduce himself! After talking all night, Marielle and Tom exchanged numbers and set up a dinner date for the next week. After canceling on Tom twice, Marielle finally decided to meet up with Tom. The rest is history!

Living one block from the beach, Tom and Marielle love to take Luna on walks down to the beach at sunset. Marielle thought this was a just regular walk with Luna! As we walked towards the beautiful sunset, Tom got down on one knee and proposed! Luna was howling with excitement.
