JR and Damaris met at a networking event—funny enough, neither of them was really supposed to be there. JR had heard from Damaris’s aunt, Veronica (they know each other through work), about a single, good-looking niece who was moving to Houston. But since he’d already heard similar “you have to meet her” stories from a few other matchmakers, he didn’t think much of it. Damaris had just moved to Houston and was staying with her aunt. She didn’t know anyone in town, so Veronica convinced her to get out and mingle a bit. JR, on the other hand, wasn’t feeling the event at all, but something told him not to miss it—so, last minute, he decided to go. The moment JR walked in, he spotted Veronica and went over to say hi. That’s when he saw Damaris—and he didn’t miss the chance to introduce himself. And well… the rest is history.
