How We Met

Our story started at Ohio State, where Victoria was in a Christian sorority, Phi Lamb, and Jack was in a Christian fraternity, BYX. Our two groups were always hanging out together—parties, date events, you name it—and that gave us plenty of chances to cross paths. Victoria noticed Jack pretty quickly. She thought he was cute, and little did she know, Jack thought the same about her. Every time a BYX date party came up, Victoria would tell our mutual friend, Nathan, that if Jack needed a date, she was available. But Jack, not being one to attend these events, never took her up on it. Then came the final BYX date party of Jack's college career, on Valentine's Day 2023. Victoria got the usual phone call asking which of her friends would want to go, but this time, another mutual friend, Trenton, casually said, “You’d want to go with Jack, right?” Of course, she said yes. After what felt like an eternity of waiting, "the text" finally came: "Hey Victoria, this is Jack. Trent told me you might be interested in going to the BYX date party this Friday. Would you like to go as friends?" Playing it cool, Victoria responded, "Yep, let's do it." The next weekend, we saw each other at the Phi Lamb-BYX party and, of course, kept the conversation going. A week later, Victoria needed a date for her Phi Lamb date event, so she had to return the favor. After another great evening, she received another long-awaited text: "Hey, can I give you a call?" Victoria ran out of her apartment and started sprinting around her complex as Jack said, "It's been a great 3 weekends with you. Would you want to make it 4?" And just like that, we ended up on our first official date the following weekend—four weekends in a row.
