Jaime and John met on April 3, 2021 (4-3-21)—a date that felt like a sign of fate. They crossed paths at John’s family’s annual neighborhood crawfish boil, which he had traveled from Midland to attend. Jaime, a neighbor of Erin and Dave’s across the street, noticed John early on but decided to wait for him to make the first move. Hours later, John finally sat down next to Jaime, and the two spent the rest of the evening talking and laughing effortlessly. After John returned to Midland for work, they stayed in touch through texts and calls—and the connection only grew stronger. A month later, John came back to Fort Worth, this time for a proper date. They spent the entire weekend together, enjoying dinner, a visit to the Fort Worth Zoo, and endless conversation. By the end of the weekend, they both knew their lives had changed forever.
