In May of 2022, both Jabari and I were stationed in San Antonio, TX for Surgical Technologist school. Shortly after talking, we realized that we’d traveled through our military careers together, boot camp, ‘A’ school, and first duty station all at the same time! Beginning our platonic relationship, we soon noticed our feelings for each other growing with time through the extensive time spent together after classes and clinicals. After arriving to our separate duty stations (VA & NC) we decided to give long distance a try, from that moment on has been history and led us to our soon to be special day!
