In March of 2020, just before the world came to a screeching halt and neither of us knew the other existed, we both decided to attend a party in the Dells with a few mutual friends. At some point we exchanged a few brief words over a beer and went our separate ways. We bumped into each other again at a Halloween party later that year, interacted a bit more. No sparks yet, but interest was piqued. Over the next few months we flirted back and forth on several mutual FB friends threads and posts. On June 19th, 2021, Trey got a FB messenger notification from Marji. He responded and we messaged back and forth almost non stop for 10 days straight, then Trey bought a plane ticket to Boston. The connection was obvious to us both and things moved fast, by Feb of 2022 Marji moved to Chicago and we decided to combine our households and our lives. A year later, Trey was ready to take things to the next level. As planning was underway for the annual Dells party that we originally met at, Trey asked the organizer if she’d ever had anyone propose at one of her events. She said no and eagerly helped Trey plan his surprise proposal. On March 4th, 2023, at the same event and same resort they met at 3 years earlier, Trey dropped to one knee, and popped the question. Marji said yes and on June 28th, 2025, we journey full circle and seal the deal in the place where it all began!!
