We met on a cruise in January 2023 and, just for fun, pretended to be a couple. We’d joke around and say things like “I’m sooo in love with you”—strictly for the plot, of course. One day, while grabbing pizza, I confessed, “You know I don’t actually like you, right?” After the cruise, we kept the bit going and came up with a game: if you said “pizza” after something, it meant you were telling the truth. So if one of us said, “I really like talking to you. Pizza,” we meant it. You can probably guess where this is going... Turns out, the jokes turned into something real. We gave long distance a try, and just eight months later, Jordan moved to DFW for a new job—and to be closer to me. The rest is history... and it all started with a slice of pizza. 🍕
