Lilly and Marvin became friends in 2010 while working on a construction site; he was the foreman and she was the administrative assistant. Afterward, they kept in touch while she lived in North Carolina and he was based in South Carolina. In 2017, the pair met up for a weekend in Myrtle Beach, and by 2018, she’d moved to be nearer to her sweetheart. One day while lounging at home he called her Mrs. Rogers. Recounts Lilly, “I said, ‘No sir! Do you see a ring on my finger?’” Marvin retorted by dropping to one knee and offering her a sparkler. The pair, who live in Bonneau, South Carolina, said “I do” in an intimate barn wedding that suited her white camouflaged gown just so.
