According to the single mum, her fiancé Marcellus was always the guy who wiped her tears and gave her a shoulder to cry on whenever things went south.

The two grew together in their friendship and bonded over the years as they went through different seasons of life.

The motivational speaker said she always feared being tied to one man and pushed away the idea of settling down with one man.

But life is full of surprises.

“I am 54 and I have never been married. I have previously opted out because it did not feel right. I have picked wrong and had to mend my heart,” she said in a social media post.

Lisa’s happy announcement was followed by a sweet video of their engagement on the beach.
