It all began in 8th grade science class. Marley Ferguson and Arnold Monge were assigned lab partners, but little did they know they were also being paired for something much bigger. What started as a reminder to bring a science tool and shared notes, quickly turned into a real friendship. Throughout high school, Marley and Arnold remained close friends—sharing inside jokes, school dances, and late-night texts that never quite crossed the line into something more. Life took them in different directions after graduation, but that connection never really faded. Then, in the summer of 2020, something shifted. A casual catch-up turned into a long conversation… which turned into a first date… which turned into a second chance. Suddenly, everything that hadn’t quite aligned before was falling beautifully into place. Fast forward to April 2025, on a family trip to Hawaii filled with ocean breezes, sunsets, and one very nervous Arnold. On a quiet beach with the waves rolling in, he got down on one knee—and Marley said yes! Now, we’re so excited to share the next chapter of our story with the people we love most. Thank you for being a part of it.
