Stephen and Jennifer went to James Madison University together. Jennifer was dating someone that lived in Stephen's dorm. They met through mutual friends in the dorm when they all signed up for a co-ed soccer league together. Stephen recalls thinking of Jen as a "take no crap" kind of girl who "doesn't mess around" he would like to say she was intimidating. Jennifer remembers Stephen as the sarcastic kid she could throw a few punches at and he would come right back with something witty. Stephen was always goofy and cracking jokes about being faster than Jen even though he usually played goalie. Stephen and Jennifer became close friends quickly through wit and sarcasm, Jen never thought of Stephen romantically until their senior year spring break trip together with friends to Orlando, Florida; where she quickly found out he had just started dating someone. They were both finally single at the same time when Jen was in Grad school and Stephen had moved back home to NJ; Stephen then admitted his feelings to Jen and she was not patient enough to wait on him so she quickly snatched him up and asked him to be her boyfriend on March 28th 2015. Since then they dated long distance for a short amount of time, once Jen left Grad School in Virginia she accepted a teaching job in Charleston, South Carolina and moved there in July 2015 only 4 months into dating Stephen. Stephen helped Jen move in to her new apartment and came back to visit over labor day weekend, when he took a job interview with Enterprise and quickly got hired and moved in with Jen in October 2015. Since then the two have moved into their own apartment, adopted their first fur baby (Nala), bought their first home and adopted their second fur baby (Mya). They are very excited to start the new chapter of their life as a married couple.
