Graham and Jessica’s story began a year and a half ago at HopeHealth, where a twist of fate (and a bit of scheduling luck) brought them together. Jessica, an art therapy intern, was looking for a meaningful project, while Graham was in the early stages of creating a support group for veterans. They were paired up, leading to the creation of “Brushes of Valor,” a Veterans' art therapy group. From the start, sparks flew—just not the romantic kind! Graham claims he was smitten immediately, but Jessica had other thoughts, firmly seeing them as mortal enemies. Every idea and every direction led to a standoff. Despite the clashes, they somehow managed to build a successful program for veterans. And somewhere between promoting and planning sessions, they found themselves growing closer. One day, after a successful group session, Graham asked her out, and Jessica agreed to dinner. From that point on, they knew they were on the same team—not just as partners in work but in life. Now, they’re ready to embark on their next big adventure: marriage!
