We’re getting married!

During a group trip to Lake Ouachita—one Jesse almost skipped but was persuaded to join by some amazing friends—he met Elspeth. A day spent on pontoon boats led to a lively game night featuring prized water guns. Jesse, eager to “inspect” Elspeth’s water guns, claimed he was performing quality control, which quickly turned into an excuse to playfully squirt her at every chance. Not to be outdone, Elspeth retaliated, and their flirty banter began. Over the following days, they shared deep conversations and grew closer. By the trip’s end, they decided they wanted to be more than friends. Thus began a long-distance relationship filled with countless FaceTime dates, through which they fell deeply in love.
