HOW WE MET One fateful evening in April 2014, the stars aligned when Jessica and Ben met at a British pub on reggae night in downtown San Luis Obispo. Ben grabbed Jessica by the hand, and they danced all night. As the bar was closing, Jessica wouldn't give Ben her number. Luckily, they kept running into each other through random occurrences, mutual friends, and close proximity in a small town. Eventually, Ben asked Jessica on a date. She declined. She just wanted to be friends. Reluctantly, Ben agreed. They continued to hang out in group settings. After a few months, Jessica asked Ben out for dinner, and they have been inseparable ever since.
