Jordan and Ann met in college at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. When Jordan was in his sophomore year and Ann in her freshman, they became co-workers at the University's Phoenix Bookstore. They immediately became friends and enjoyed the shifts they worked together. Ann did not know Jordan had been harboring a large crush on her from the moment he saw her; he would even take extra shifts at the same time Ann was scheduled to work just to be with her. During their first summer working together, Jordan would strategically take his lunch at the same time as Ann so they could be alone together. However, their friend Matt (serving as Best Man) would often interrupt their alone-time to join them. Much to Jordan's displeasure and Ann's blissful ignorance, these "alone-time" lunches were Jordan's way of building up the courage to ask her out. After nearly 10 months of working together, Jordan finally asked Ann on a date. She said no. They remained friends and continued to hang out after work and class for the next few weeks. But Jordan wasn't ready to give up. He asked Ann to join him on a walk to the shore where they sat and talked for hours. Ann insisted they remain just friends. A week later on September 21, 2012 Jordan received a text from Ann saying: "Fine. I'll try." From that moment their love grew; and on the 7th anniversary of that text, Jordan and Ann will begin their life together. September 21, 2019
