Jessica and Brad met on Hinge! A true tale of the dating app's slogan: “The Dating App Designed To Be Deleted." After an evening Sharks game with her Parent's, Jessica had "liquid courage" and decided to FaceTime Bradley before their proposed first date on May 5, 2019. Surprisingly, he answered! Jess and Brad met in downtown Campbell for lunch the following day, wherein tears were shed over their mutual unexpected loss of a Grandpa. When they both did not want the date to end, they decided to play billiards and spent most of the day together. Brad mentioned he didn't kiss on first dates, which Jessica obviously took as a major challenge (and won). #HingetoHitched

After waiting for what was a literal eternity, Jess had suspicions that Brad was intending to propose. Brad mentioned wanting to "plan a trip" and kept many of the details a secret up until a few weeks before their trip to Montana. Days before they left on their trip, Brad acted like no plans were set in stone, which caught Jess off guard. Naturally, Jess was frustrated and dreaded potentially needing to have a tough heart to heart with Brad. Somehow, Brad convinced Jess to partake in a sunrise hike despite heavy bear traffic in the area to witness the famous alpine glow. To Jess's relief, there was another crazy individual about to set off on the same hike in the parking lot as they arrived, she would later learn this was Kat, the photographer Brad had been planning with for months prior. Surprisingly, they didn't get mauled by a bear or trampled by a moose. The plan became apparent when Brad suggested taking a photo together and was trembling next to Jess as they posed in front of Lake Josephine in Glacier National Park. Jess thought Brad would never ask, shared this sentiment with him, and immediately said YES!!
