We met in the summer of 2018 at our good friend's birthday beach barbecue. While James was grilling burgers, Jessica, who thought he was attractive, decided to strike up a conversation with him. Although the timing wasn't right then, after a year of small talk and a slow growing friendship, their paths began to align (thank you God). Their close friend Joey, who had known James since the 3rd grade, decided that he couldn't let James miss out on dating such an amazing girl. Joey, James' wingman, finally got them to go on a date together. From their first date on, they knew it was well worth the wait.
