Romero and Jordyn were brought to Columbia, SC for completely different reasons—but fate clearly had other plans. Naturally, after moving to a new city, you download a dating app. Ro was immediately drawn to one of Jordyn’s infamous “controversial topic” conversation starters (as many of you know, she has plenty), and from that moment on, the two have never stopped debating. After some persistent encouragement from Jordyn to meet in person, Romero strategically chose a dinner spot located mere seconds from his apartment—just in case a quick escape became necessary. Jordyn had her own apprehensions, when Ro very politely—but awkwardly—extended his hand for a handshake as she reached the table. Her immediate response? “That’s weird.” And yet, despite the questionable first impression, something just clicked. The two lost track of time as conversation flowed, until the waiter finally had to let them know the restaurant had closed. Although Ro will never admit it (but Jordyn has the receipts), they both knew that night they had found their person—the perfect balance. In just four short years, Ro and Jordyn have been side by side through major milestones, big achievements, tough times, and the raising of not one, but two slightly spoiled dogs. What started as a cheeky online debate turned into a forever kind of love.
