Despite growing up five minutes down the road from each other, they had to go a couple hours away to UNC Charlotte to actually meet. In their freshman/sophomore year dorm, Jess and her roommates went across the hall to ask for help moving furniture. That was where they met Josh, who moved their desk. The next year, Josh and Jess were in the same friend group. The group hung out every week, going together to football games, the fair, and more. A year (or so) after that the two finally started dating on February 15, 2021 <3
