Even though Jeremy and Whitney both attended Hampton University at the same time and had a few friends in common, they did not know each other in undergrad. In October of 2019, we both went to homecoming and ended up staying in Airbnb's right next door. After both of our friend groups found out we were neighbors, both groups spent the weekend partying and hanging out between to the two homes. While we only chatted for a bit throughout that weekend, we kept in touch after homecoming. In February of 2020 we decided to officially start dating long distance, not realizing at that time we would not be able to see each other again in person until December of that year. As everyone knows, the pandemic shut everything down in March of 2020, and so we did our best to talk, text, and FaceTime until later that year. Eventually after dating long distance for some time, Jeremy moved to Philly in April 2022. In December of 2022, Jeremy proposed to Whitney at home in a small intimate exchange. She was surprised, overwhelmed with joy, and quickly said yes.
