It all began on a hot summer day in August 2016. While shopping at Queens Center Mall, their eyes met and thus started an endless conversation of "Don't I know you from somewhere?" After acknowledging that there was a strange connection which drew them together, they continued to discuss their past life experiences in an effort to find the missing link. This led to the discovery that they had much more in common than what was initially presumed. Towards the end of that very first conversation, one thing became clear: neither of them wished for it to end.
Christmas is Sandra's favorite time of the year so when the two of them went shopping for presents, she did not expect it to be the day she would be receiving her engagement ring. After what seemed like an endless shopping trip during the busiest times of the year, they went home to relax. Marquis, however, had other plans and decided to pop the question in the presence of Sandra's father. He got down on one knee and captured her heart forever!
