James and Becky met via an online dating app - Coffee Meets Bagel - which perfectly describes their obsession with caffeine and carbs, respectively. They had their first date on November 18, 2018 and the rest is history. For two years, the relationship endured long distance — Becky was in nursing school, and James was pursuing his master’s degree. Their bond was tested even more at the start of COVID, when lockdowns kept them apart for several months. After many cups of boba later, they got engaged last year in the Amalfi Coast in Italy. James and Becky both enjoy traveling and have traveled to Japan, Italy, Hawaii, Seattle, Miami, Yosemite, Joshua Tree, Arkansas, Chicago, Portland, Las Vegas and more.
