Married at First Sight

@PajkaNight

Standing in the hotel lobby, Tony checked his phone again, even though he knew nothing would be there. He had tried to invite his mother and her family to the wedding; he sent invitations, called them, sent texts and emails, did everything short of flying out to Japan himself to get them to come. He wasn't sure how he felt about the lack of response. He knew from the start that they didn't want anything to do with him, they'd completely ostracized him for the last nine years of his life, but what kind of person would he be if he hadn't invited his mother to his wedding?
He locked his phone and put it back in his pocket. Part of him was glad they wouldn't be here; that much baggage and drama would have massively complicated an already crazy day for him. He wanted closure, of course, but he wanted a fresh start even more. With a sigh, he headed off to his room so that he could start getting dressed and ready for the wedding.

If you guys are starting this afternoon, you'll have to start without me. I have work at 4 (it's quarter to 1 where I am), and I won't be back til about midnight.

Here's boy#2!

Tony Martinez

Name: Antonio "Tony" Martinez
Age: 27
Personality: Tony is a generally even-tempered man. He doesn't care for dramatic or toxic people, and is quick to cut ties with people he thinks fit that description. He's known for being distant, and isn't usually keen on showing his emotions. He truly enjoys helping others and giving advice, but is easily frustrated by people who don't help themselves or who ignore his advice. Tony is colorblind, and is known for having no fashion sense whatsoever. He's very level-headed, and it takes a lot to stress him out or really upset him.

Appearance

Likes: drinking, baking, jogging, animals (he volunteers at a local animal shelter), eating healthy, girls with glasses (cute!), watching TV, movies (especially horror)
Dislikes: gambling, laziness, racists, drama
Sexuality: Bisexual but generally prefers women
Bio: Tony grew up in Brooklyn and East Harlem, being bounced between his mother and father after a messy divorce when he was very young. He ran away from home many times, and finally left New York altogether when he was 18. His mother moved back to her family home in Osaka almost immediately after Tony turned 18, and he hasn't heard from her since then. He started working as a busboy at a restaurant bar in the Upper East Side when he was 16, became a waiter at 18, and at 21 became a bartender there. Since then the owner has purchased more bars and made Tony the head manager of the original restaurant, which has since become one of the most popular hangouts in the Upper East Side. He owns a modest apartment nearby, and owns a little black dog named Hugo.
Tony has had many turbulent relationships in his past, and has nearly given up on dating and love altogether. His friends actually dared him to join the marriage experiment, and he did it because he figured marriage experts might know something about his perfect match that he doesn't.

@Duniva I don't know, I'm not sure that Victor would get along very well with Cassandra. I'm almost ready to post my other boy, though, so maybe they can be together! :D

Married at First Sight

Victor Harlow

Name: Victor Harlow
Age: 23
Personality: Victor is very prideful, yet surprisingly patient and understanding. Due to his wealthy upbringing he is well-mannered and quite formal. He’s known for being quite lazy. Victor is materialistic and vain, expecting only the best of himself and others. He comes off as quite petty and self-centered, and while it’s true that he can be quite shallow, he can be very kind as well.

Appearance

Likes: quiet evenings in, his mansions and cars, hiking, smoking, cats, nature
Dislikes: large crowds, complainers, nosiness, cities
Sexuality: Straight
Bio: Victor was raised primarily by his grandfather John Harlow, a billionaire entertainment entrepreneur. His mother, Jennifer Harlow, had a very bad relationship with her father and raised Victor on her own until he was four. She died suddenly in a car accident along with her boyfriend, and his grandfather adopted him, swearing to finally do right by his daughter. Unfortunately, John wasn’t terribly good with children and quickly resorted to hiring nannies to care for the boy most of the time. He grew up with few truly close emotional relationships, and no role model for what love looked like. Victor has dated many women, but none of the relationships went very far. He ultimately decided to take part in the marriage experiment partly for the publicity (he's a bit of a celebrity, after all), but mostly to see if the experts could find "the one" for him... of if she exists at all.
