Jordan and Erica met their first year of college 11 years ago. Erica was playing a boy scout in a theater production and Jordan was the lighting tech, the start of a dorky friendship. Just as Jordan moved to Florida for graduate school, they realized they had become best friends over those 4 years. From 3,000 miles apart they supported each other as both slogged through their graduate degrees. After Jordan moved to Maryland they were able to see each other in person again, and more than 7 years after they first met they went on their first date. The rest is history.
