Some of you may not know this, but Jessie and Erik met each other through JoAnn Cali, Jessie's mom. Erik works for Hilton and trained under JoAnn before she retired. Upon retirement, JoAnn gave Jessie's number to Erik and said that they should hang out since, you know, they both apparently had no friends... THANKS MOM. All jokes aside, they had both moved to Memphis recently and had been looking for things to do. This sparked a friendship, which soon became a close friendship with lots of texting. They got to know each other well and could tell they definitely were compatible. But soon after, Jessie moved to Nashville in search of a job with the pandemic looming and no jobs seemed to be hiring locally. So, with that, their digital friendship continued. Jessie and Erik would continue to be each other's friends with listening ears and open hearts. Cue a year or so later, Jessie found her new passion as a Marketing Consultant and was able to move home to Memphis. On her first weekend back home, Erik finally asked her out. Their first date was on Friday, March 5th, 2021 at Young Avenue Deli in Memphis. From that day on, they became inseparable. Three years later after a date in Midtown, they will be married on March 9th, 2024. Come celebrate with us in New Orleans! We can't wait to share our love with you all!
