Kendrick moved from Greenwood, Mississippi to the coast of Mississippi in 2015. Kendra moved from Baton Rouge, Louisiana to the coast of Mississippi in 2015 as well. He was working as a market manager. She was working as a local news reporter. The two never crossed paths until they met through mutual friends in 2017. It didn't take long for them to realize that their bond was something special. Fast forward one year and Kendra is crying constant tears of joy while Kendrick is down on one knee asking the big question. If you fast forward one year from that moment, they'll be Mr. and Mrs. James. The crazy part about all of this? They lived less than one mile apart from each other and never crossed paths until the moment they met.
