Jessica and Noah’s story began at a children’s museum, where they spent a summer engineering cardboard trains and realizing how much fun they had together. What started as teamwork soon became an easy friendship. When Noah returned to NC State that fall, they kept in touch, and before long, that friendship turned into something more. They officially began dating in 2022 and have been making new memories together ever since. They share a love of exploring, whether hiking through state and national parks, discovering new wineries and cideries, or simply finding hidden gems around Raleigh. When they’re home, their favorite nights include good food, a movie, a sunset, and maybe a Lego project. They cannot wait to celebrate this next chapter surrounded by the people they love most.
