Although Jessi and Jonathan shared mutual friends throughout their undergraduate years, their paths never crossed. That changed on November 2nd, 2018, when Jessi made a spontaneous trip to Fullerton for a birthday dinner in her honor. That same evening, Jonathan was looking for plans and reached out to the same group of friends. By chance, he ended up at the very dinner where Jessi was headed. As she approached the table, neither of them knew they were about to meet someone who would change their lives forever. The very next day, they went on their first date—and now, over six years later, their journey continues into marriage.
