Jessica and Joel’s story started long before they had any clue getting married to each other was in their future. They met way back in middle school as itty bitty 8 year olds. Years and years later one year after high school graduation they bumped into each other and exchanged phone numbers. Soon after, they started becoming really good friends, although for Joel just being friends was never his end goal. But the love part of this story didn’t start until one summer, Jessica’s sister Nancy invited the both of them to go on a wild spontaneous road trip to Miami! Somewhere along the way, in between getting their car stuck in a ditch on the side of the road and getting lost driving through a spooky ghost town in Georgia, to finally making it to Miami in one piece, Jessica started to see Joel in a whole different light and realized she was actually falling in love! Joel had finally won her over and something special began and the rest is history!
