Alicia and Marcus met one warm evening on Maracas Beach, the golden sunset painting the sky as vibrant as Trinidad itself. Alicia, a spirited young woman with a love for soca, had just started her weekend lime with friends, while Marcus, a quiet artist, was there sketching the waves and local coconut vendors. Their paths crossed when Alicia's kite got tangled in a nearby tree. Seeing her struggle, Marcus offered to help, his smile shy but warm. As he untangled the strings, Alicia made him laugh with stories of her mishaps, her laugh as melodic as the steelpan music that filled the air. Over bake and shark with coconut water, their connection grew like the rhythm of a calypso song. They spent the night dancing barefoot on the beach, bonding over their shared love for their culture, the Carnival spirit, and their dreams. Alicia admired Marcus's creative soul, and he was captivated by her fiery passion for life. Years later, on that same beach, Marcus proposed to Alicia at sunset. They married in a colorful, joyous ceremony, surrounded by friends and family. Today, they still return to Maracas Beach, reliving the magic of their first encounter, their love forever vibrant like the Trinidadian sunset
