On a late evening in January, Jessie Ramirez, Kenton’s cousin, walked up to Rebecca at a professional organization meeting and asked “Are you single?” To Rebecca’s dismay and slight confusion, she shrugged and replied, “Yes.” Jessie didn’t miss a beat. “Would you go on a blind date with my cousin?” Rebecca hesitated but said yes, though she vaguely remembers throwing out a few requirements. One may or may not have been, “Is he employed?” Confident in her matchmaking instincts, Jessie Ramirez, reached out to Kenton out of the blue and asked if he would be open to a blind date. She sent him a few pictures of his soon-to-be wife and added, “She’s a really sweet girl.” Kenton took one look at the photos and texted back without hesitation: YOU’RE THE BEST JESSIE. ABSOLUTELY I’LL GO ON A DATE WITH HER!!”.
