Marquese and Shannon’s love story began in 2010 at Owings Mills High School. After exchanging multiple teasing taunts in the hallway and facebook instant messges, they went on their first date. They made it official the evening of June 12, 2010 while he walked her home from a carnival date. And like true high school sweethearts, they have been inseparable since

On the day of his graduation from the police academy, Marquese gathered some of their loved ones to one of their favorite dock bars in Baltimore, Tiki Lee’s. While her sisters swept her off into the bathroom, Marquese got everyone in position. They formed a single line and handed Shannon a single rose as she walked passed them. At the end of the line, Shannon found Marquese down on one knee, a ring in his hand and she said YES!
