Blind date? Karaoke? Zootopia? INTERNATIONAL ESPIONAGE? Some of these things are involved in the meeting of our beautiful to-be-wed couple. I am your omnipresent narrator, guiding you through this story of life and love. Kassondra and Jesse both attended the same High School, never crossing paths, even though they were only one year apart. These two, destined for each other, most likely brushed shoulders in cold, angst-ridden hallways before they ever locked eyes for the first time. When Jesse moved back to Palm Bay from Tampa in 2016, he had a friend that told him one day, “I know the perfect girl for you.” Little did he know, Kassondra had another friend telling her that he knew the perfect guy for her. This would eventually lead to the two meeting in a situation not unlike an arranged marriage; but this did not phase either of our two eventual lovebirds. Their paths finally crossed on a Karaoke Night, where Jesse was given the opportunity to show off his angelic voice (again, this is an omnipresent narrator, and definitely NOT Jesse). Kassondra enjoyed the performance enough to agree to a second meeting, where the two watched Zootopia (yes, Zootopia), where they first laughed and cried together. Their affinity for each other was instant and fierce. Eventually, Jesse offered to have Kassondra move in with him while she looked for work in the yachting industry, to which Kassondra was brand new. She took an unbelievable leap of faith and joined Jesse in South Florida. Little did they know, this decision would change their lives forever. Jesse and Kassondra have been together for over four years, and each of those years has presented their own unique challenges. Kassondra and Jesse have proven over and over again that their love for one another can get them through anything - even Jesse forgetting to put the toilet seat down once every two weeks. They now live in St. Petersburg, where they are surrounded by, and showered with constant love from their friends and family. They have built themselves a life, and an incredible foundation on which they can begin to build their own family. Things are getting kind of serious now with this whole marriage business, and neither of them are nervous. Kassondra has brought a level of love and friendship into Jesse’s life which he could never even have imagined. He is the LUCKIEST.
