We matched on Hinge and began talking to each other with ease. It was later revealed that we had matched before, but Jenna was terrible at responding to text messages. Luckily, this time Anderson didn't give up on talking to Jenna. The first date was at Birdies Miniature Golf Course in Westfield followed by dinner at Stacked Pickles. Between two very competitive people, both of us had to scale back as to not scare the other person off. No one really knows who the winner is of that game. As we sat and talked over dinner that first time, it was like we had known each other for years. Eventually, the wait staff were waiting for us to leave, so they could leave as well.
During the middle of a pandemic, Anderson's original plan to propose was ruined. He had to come up with a new plan that didn't put people at risk of catching COVID. Anderson decided to propose two days before Christmas because Jenna said it was cliché to propose on a major holiday. Unfortunately for Anderson, Jenna stayed late at work to help with the laundry due to an increase in demand of PPE. He planned to propose right as she got home, but having been doing laundry, Jenna felt the need to shower right away. It was at this point that Anderson started to feel nervous. During her shower, Anderson was throwing treats to Rosie to make sure that she didn't mess up the coffee table that was beautifully decorated. However, this led to Rosie not doing her one job in the proposal- Bringing Jenna a note under a flower around her neck as Jenna was upstairs. As Jenna came downstairs in her sweatpants and oversized T-shirt, she saw the coffee table that was all decorated with Mr. and Mrs. Willis along with photos of the two of them. After Jenna finally read the note on Rosie's collar, Anderson got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. She said yes!
We got married on a beautiful evening in Corolla, NC with the attendance of our families and many other bystanders that were still on the beach for the day. If you want to check out our wedding ceremony, check out our YouTube video at https://YouTu.be/yPmySCOR56c
