It was a very snowy day in Spartanburg, SC. Jess had a scheduled appointment with her pathophysiology tutor named Larry. USC Upstate had closed its doors due to the snowy weather for student and staff safety. Jess was supposed to be meeting a man named Larry at the library for her first tutoring session. Unfortunately, since the school had closed their doors, Jess was worried that she wouldn't get to the tutoring session. So, she suggested that they head to Panera Bread. Jess had been looking for a man with a patho book, when she came across a handsome man with the most blue eyes she had ever seen. She introduced herself and said "You must be Larry." Jess sat down and began talking with Larry, not mentioning patho one bit. The employees approached Larry and Jess and informed them that it was closing time. Not realizing that they had been talking for so long, Larry invited Jess back to his apartment to continue their conversation. They got to his apartment around 9:15 PM, and talked until 1:30 AM! Jess had 5 missed calls from her family who were worried sick - "it's not like her to not answer the phone when we call." Jess returned their calls and informed them that she had just met the most amazing man. Larry and Jess continued to talk for a week & on 2/28/15, Larry officially asked her to date him. She, of course, said yes and so started their love journey! In March of 2017, Larry & Jess purchased their first home. On May 3, 2017, Jess graduated nursing school and moved in with Larry. She began her first nursing job in July 2017. On 12/27/17, Larry asked Jess to marry him, and again she said YES. Ever since, they have been saving up to throw the wedding of their dreams & on September 28, 2019, it will finally happen! We can't wait to say "I do!"
