Jade and Aaron met in Denver, Colorado in August 2014. Aaron had been living in Colorado for nearly a decade at the time, working in the Oil & Gas industry. Being in her fourth year of medical school, Jade was in Denver on a surgical rotation at the University of Colorado hospital. They initially began talking after matching on an online dating app, and eventually agreed to meet in person on a first date after several weeks of chatting online. Aaron treated Jade to a fancy dinner a new restaurant in Downtown Denver, and while the food wasn't worthwhile, the company was. The two decided to continue the night at a nearby bar, where they continued to drink and talk the night away, leading to the beginning of an adventure-filled and unpredictable relationship!

Jade is originally from Dallas, TX and was due to return after her rotation in Denver, CO ended. Coincidentally, Aaron's family was originally from DFW, and had siblings still living in the area. Therefore, they were able to remain in touch and visit once Jade had returned back to Texas. Because Jade was in her last year of medical school, she was traveling around the country interviewing for residency programs, where Aaron was able to meet her at various locations and continue dating. In March 2015, Jade found out she had matched a surgical residency in Houston, TX, and as fate would have it, Aaron's job had relocated him to College Station, TX just a few months later! Eventually as Jade continued her residency in Houston, Aaron transitioned his job to Houston as well, where they continued to build their life together. Over the last five years, they have added to their family, adopting two wonderful dogs, Barley and Moose. They've spent their time together supporting each other in their careers and traveling the world.

The ring that Aaron took months to custom design for Jade has been burning a hole in his pocket...for a few days. Aaron couldn't hold in the surprise any longer, and so that day, he planned to propose. With Aaron hiding the ring on Moose's collar, they took a stroll onto their special bridge in Hermann Park with the dogs. The ring on Moose's collar catches Jade's attention and she finally realized what was happening! Aaron gets down on one knee and proposes to Jade, telling her all the reasons he loves her and wants to spend the rest of his life with her. Finally, after the initial shock and excitement of the moment wears off, Jade says yes!
