We first met at a potluck between family and friends. It was one of those laid-back get-togethers—good food, easy conversation, people mingling. But the second Terra saw Marc, something about him just stood out. She’s usually pretty shy, the type to hang back and keep to herself, but this time was different. Something pulled her toward him. Before she even had time to think it through, she walked right up and introduced herself. From there, it was like the rest of the night didn’t exist. They talked for hours—about life, music, interests, everything under the sun. The connection was instant and so natural, like they were meant to meet right then and there. They knew they wanted to see each other again, and their first real hangout was at San Clemente Beach. They walked the shoreline for what felt like hours, never running out of things to say. It was easy, fun, and somehow deep all at the same time. Fast forward two years, and that spark never faded. They’ve built a life full of laughter, shared dreams, and so much love. And in the most perfect full-circle moment, Marc proposed at the very same beach where they had their first night out. It was simple, heartfelt, and so them. Now they’re engaged and planning a wedding, with all the excitement and love that comes with it. What started as a conversation over potluck plates turned into forever—and honestly, it couldn’t feel more right.
