Marcus and I first connected through a dating app. He immediately stood out to me from the rest. Our conversations were instantly effortless and after just 3 days of messaging, he asked me out. We made plans to meet up at Woods Coffee in Boulevard Park. Marcus took the long, almost 3 hour drive to meet me. (Little did we know at the time, it would hardly be the last.) We grabbed a cup of coffee, walked, talked, sat, talked, got lunch, and talked some more. Before we knew it 4 hours had passed! Marcus had made an impression on my heart that was here to stay, and exactly one year later on the anniversary of our first date, he proposed.
