Jeff and his friends were heading to Florida for vacation and got a flat tire in Chattanooga. His car didn’t have a spare so he had to be towed to the nearest dealership. While he was waiting for the tire to be fixed, he started swiping on a dating app and matched with Mallori! They hit it off from that point on and chatted for hours on end for the first month before meeting up face to face. They met for the first time in person in Bowling Green, KY. Since then they have been commuting back & forth 444 miles every two weeks to be together.

While on a family vacation in Hilton Head, South Carolina, Jeff popped the question with a heartfelt video on the beach with Mallori's family all around. It came full circle for Mallori as they first started their romance when she was on vacation there the same time the year before.
