In Gainesville, Allen was deep into his MBA while Jackie was finishing nursing school. A chance swipe brought us together and what started as a casual connection quickly grew into something real. Between study sessions and busy days we found time to hang out, talk, and enjoy each other’s company. Though we came from different paths it did not take long to realize we made a great team. Allen became a Gator fan and Jackie proudly joined the UCF Knights but somehow the rivalry only made us stronger. Now we are excited to begin the next chapter surrounded by family and friends who have supported us along the way.

After meeting in Gainesville we moved to Los Angeles to begin building our life together. Along the way we have made friends in places like Melbourne, Orlando, Gainesville, and Los Angeles. Even though some of those friends have moved to different cities or countries they continue to be an important part of our lives. We feel incredibly lucky to have such a strong far-reaching community of friends and loved ones! We cannot wait to celebrate this next chapter of our lives in Cabo San Lucas surrounded by all the people who mean most to us.
