Jill and Liam met through a mutual friend (Angela went to Clemson with Liam, and later became friends with Jill after graduating and moving to Charlotte). In the summer of 2012, Angela invited Liam to come up to Charlotte to attend a friend's birthday party on Lake Norman. Jill and Liam had a ton of fun hanging out together that weekend, but with plans to attend grad school in Boston later that year, Jill wasn't looking for a relationship. Yet somehow, only a few short months later, Jill found herself on a sailboat, being tossed around the Atlantic Ocean, in the midst of a terrible thunderstorm. Liam had invited her to join him on an overnight sailing race from Charleston to Savannah- an offer she just couldn't turn down- although many times that night she had wished she had. Luckily, they both survived the trip, and oddly enough, after making it safely back to Charleston, neither Liam or Jill wanted to go home. That fall, they spent nearly every weekend together; sailing on Lake Keowee, camping, ghost hunting in Asheville- but by the start of the new year, Jill was living in Boston, attending school and working full time in a classroom. The long-distance continued for several years, and although it was difficult, somehow, they made it work. Today, Jill and Liam live together in South Carolina, in a little house they bought next to their favorite lake. Jill is a 5th grade teacher, and Liam works for a boat dock company. They have 5 fur babies (2 dogs and 3 cats), and all of them are so happy for mom and dad to finally tie the knot!
