2012 They met at a dinner party in the fall... 2013 ...but their first official date wasn't until Jessie's birthday in February. John took her out to dinner and surprised her with a special dessert. That spring John got a dog, Emma Dee (the sweetest golden retriever in the world), and they felt like a little family. Later that year Jessie moved to Dallas for work and the long distance dating began. 2014-2015 They traveled back and forth between Little Rock and Dallas. (And all over the place on fun weekend adventures.) They talked on the phone. They missed each other a lot. 2016 Jessie moved back to Little Rock to be near John and Emma. John proposed to Jessie in New York City. (She was thrilled and said 'yes'.) 2017 Emma is very excited about the engagement and wags her tail a lot. John cooks delicious dinners for Jessie. Jessie decorates John's new house in Hillcrest. Happy and thankful for the love and support of all the special people in their lives, they get married in Little Rock. They can't wait to see you in November!
