In October 2022, Hunter and Jessica were both in town visiting their respective families in Jacksonville, Tx when they both ended up at the Jacksonville 150th anniversary festival. Jessica spotted Hunter across Main Street in front of some pumpkins and immediately asked her friends who the cute guy was. An hour later, she saw him again in the town coffee shop sitting next to one of her best friends, Emily, and quickly asked her who this man was. After Emily told her it was a guy she went to high school with named Hunter, Jessica was instantly curious. Thankfully, Emily added him on Instagram later that day and sent to Jessica to add him too. Jessica decided to be bold and followed this stranger and....he followed her back. Fast forward ten months later, Hunter messaged Jessica on Instagram and asked her on a date next time they were both in Jacksonville. Two weeks later, they went on their first date at Food and Table and the saying "when you know you know" was more than just a cliche. Jessica came home that night and told her Mom she was going to marry this guy and she had found the one. After a year of long distance, moving back to East Texas, and changing jobs, Hunter proposed where Jessica first saw him and celebrated where they had their first date.
