Dominique and Jay have known each other for as long as they can remember—same town, same school, always somewhere in each other’s orbit. Life carried them in different directions after graduation, until one day, while Jay was in medical school at UMMC, she was walking with a few classmates to grab food and spotted Dominique passing by in between deliveries. They both paused in surprise, exchanged a quick hello, and went on with their day, not realizing that moment had quietly set something in motion. A few months later, Dominique slid into Jay's DMs (a modern love story, right?), and that simple message turned into conversations that never really stopped. And from there, everything unfolded naturally into the story they are now so excited to celebrate.
