It’s a funny story...

Before you judge us, remember, we are millennials! As unbelievable as it may sound, our love story began some boring night in Nov. of 2017, when the two of us thought to become members of a popular dating app. After scrolling through each other’s profiles we matched instantly and of course Marquel sent the first message and we immediately sparked up a conversation. The next day, Marquel FaceTimed me, without an appointment I might add, I guess trying to see how I looked on my worst day or an attempt to catch me off guard. It appears he liked what he saw because from that day to this one we stayed up talking on the phone, falling asleep on the phone and literally spending all of our free time together. In fact, our first date took place within a week when he asked me to meet him for a quick bite and to shoot pool. I hustled him by pretending I didn’t know how to play. For some odd reason, he has no recollection of me ever beating him. Marquel says I was smitten by him from the moment I saw him just because I locked my car keys in the car and had to call Pop-a-lock on just our first date. I can admit, maybe I was a tad bit nervous. I had been out of the dating loop for a year and he was even more attractive in person. I think we were both relieved that we looked the same in person as our pictures on the internet. It’s hard to remember life without him because we just fit so perfectly and all so quickly. We thank God for modern technology— convienient dating apps right at our fingertips. One minute we were cruising along as strangers and the next we are on top of the Hilton Millineum rooftop helicopter pad in Bangkok making a decision to ride this ride forever. We are thrilled you can be apart of our history and we hope our story made you smile! #ForeverBangkok💍
