Chris and Marilena met a little over five years ago while attending Sacred Heart University, and they have been inseparable ever since. Ironically, they discovered that they lived just five minutes apart from each other back home. When Chris decided to propose to Marilena, he wanted it to be something special. Since beach vacations are their favorite getaways, Chris planned a beautiful proposal during sunset, which is one of Marilena’s favorite activities they enjoy together. When he got down on one knee, Marilena was overwhelmed with emotion, a beautiful mix of disbelief and joy. When she finally said yes, it was the easiest decision of her life, embracing the chance to spend forever with her true love.
