Like many people these days, we met online. John sent Jennifer the most lovely introductory message and she just knew she wanted to get to know him better. They corresponded and eventually knew it was time to meet to see if they were as great of a match in person as they seemed to be online. John surprised even himself by buying a ticket to Seattle at short notice and in January 2024 flew to Seattle where they met for the first time. On that first visit they enjoyed getting to know each other more and some sightseeing in a few record low temperature days and even had some time to take in the local board game cafe. They’ve been lucky enough to visit each other multiple times since that original trip and have even been able to spend come time in British Columbia, Las Vegas and London. They are very much looking forward to exploring more of the world together and eagerly anticipating future holidays in warmer locations! Over the past year and a half their shared values and enthusiasm for beautiful views, board games, pastries, exploring each other’s cities and deep conversations has grown. Jennifer’s daughter, Izzy, adores John and they are all looking forward to being a family unit together! They’ve traveled over 35,000 miles and spent countless hours video chatting, laughing, talking and Jennifer crying 😂 and are so thrilled to be engaged and close to being officially husband and wife!
