They met online in the summer of 2024. She was in California, and he was in South Carolina. From their very first phone call, they clicked. The conversation flowed for hours, and it quickly became clear this wasn’t just a casual connection. By fall, they both realized it was something rare. So rare that by November, Zeb packed up everything and moved across the country to be with Marcia and see where this love could take them. As soon as he arrived, everything just made sense. He bonded with her family right away and even won over her cat, Khloe, who’s now completely obsessed with his lap. From that moment on, each day has been a reminder that sometimes love finds you when you least expect it and changes everything.

In February 2025, they took a trip to Disneyland that happened to line up with a visit from some of Marcia’s closest friends. The day was packed with rides, laughter, and plenty of snacks. That evening, everyone gathered to watch Fantasmic! and the fireworks. Zeb had planned to propose during the fireworks, but when the show was unexpectedly canceled, the moment didn’t go quite as planned. Still, he went through with it. Right after the show, while Marcia was in full Disney mode trying to rush to the next ride, he stopped her in her tracks. Surrounded by friends, he got down on one knee and pulled out a ring. Marcia had no idea it was coming. It caught her completely off guard in the best possible way. Afterward, the two of them hopped on Big Thunder Mountain. Just as the ride took off, the fireworks finally lit up the sky after all. That’s when it all hit Marcia and the happy tears started to flow. It was a moment filled with love, magic, and surprise. One they’ll always remember.
