At the end of 2018, two people swiped right on Hinge, unknowingly setting the stage for a love story filled with laughter, competition, and a little bit of strategic patience. From the start, he tried to impress her with his humor, even slipping in a pickup line from a song—one that went completely over her head. It was the first of many moments where he’d realize she was oblivious to most pop culture references. He caught Kendra's eye on Hinge by proudly wearing a rubber ducky tie (in a nod to How I Met Your Mother) but of course, Kendra didn’t get the reference. She just thought it was cute and showed his playful side. Our first date took place at a game bar- the perfect spot for breaking the ice and for Kendra to completely dominate Jordan at bags (corn hole 🤪). Jordan was late to the date and Kendra had an escape plan in case he turned out to be a creepy man from the internet. Luckily, he wasn’t. In fact, she was smitten from the start, though she wouldn’t let him in on that little secret. He, equally interested, found himself a little unsure of where things stood when she made him wait a few dates for a kiss. In need of advice, he turned to his sisters hoping to crack the code. Clearly, he figured it out! Fast forward a bit- we moved to Indiana together, brought home our babies Zeus and Gracie, bought a house, got "big kid" jobs, navigated big decisions, experienced happiness and loss but through every challenge and every triumph, our love has been the one unwavering constant. Then, in a moment straight out of a dream, he proposed at the top of a mountain during a ski trip in Colorado. With breathtaking views all around, he asked her to be his forever. It was beautiful, it was perfect, and it was the easiest "yes" of her life. Now, six years later, we're (finally!!) making it official—proof that sometimes, the best things in life are worth the wait.
