Meet Michele & Marvin
Founders of The Heart Bandits
Marvin and I met while working for the same company in 2005. We instantly clicked as friends bonded as we were one of the only few "cool" people in the office. Over time, our friendship grew to love and in 2010, Marvin proposed. Marvin knew he wanted to give me a great proposal, but there weren't really any resources out there to help men come up with the best proposal idea.
The day Marvin proposed was an amazing day, and I of course said yes! Later he told me about how hard it was to come up with a proposal idea, let alone handle all of the execution. We decided to create that resource so that nobody would ever have to feel the stress of planning a perfect proposal alone again. We felt that women had relied on Wedding Planners, why shouldn't proposers have some help along the way too? And thus, The Heart Bandits was born.
We live in Southern California with our two children, dog, and cat.
