April 27, 2019: Two Michelob Ultras clink in the twilight at McIntyre's, two friend groups mingle, and destiny hits play. Eli eyes Jackie across the bar, drawn by their shared taste in frosty bottles and vibrant laughter. Eli asks Jackie what her name is, and within one hour invites her to be his date to a wedding in Miami only two short months later. This leads to a bold move - Jackie says yes and saves her number in Eli’s phone as "Jackie - Future Wifey." The next day, El Tiempo sets the stage for their first date, sparks fly, and chemistry simmers hotter than the salsa. Little did Eli know, Jackie’s best friend, Traci, was only a few feet away drinking a margarita at the bar (just in case Eli ended up being weird), texting Jackie to "stop talking so much." So she did, and let Eli woo her with his big dimples and sparkling eyes. And 6 months later, Jackie told Eli that Traci was there on the first date. The photo below was from the day we met at McIntyres!
