This Pretty Museum Wedding in Virginia Was a Long Time Coming

It all started around 17 or 18 years ago. Brenda and Marion met when they were 11 or 12 years old, just a couple of kids in middle school. They dated for two weeks (which, let's be real, is pretty long for a preteen relationship).

"We remained friends over the years," Marion said. "Flash forward to around 15 years later. We reconnected via Twitter and would tweet each other here and there."

According to Marion, the two made a bet on a basketball game. Brenda won, so he owed her lunch.

"[We] met at Jersey Mikes, and I got her favorite sub — the American Classic, Mike's Way, no tomato, add mayo," he said. "Crazy I still remember that first day."

Marion proposed to Brenda in the springtime at Virginia Beach.

"Eventually she said yes," he said. "Absolutely one of the best days ever."
