We met at a work Christmas party December 8, 2018, where Evan crashed it and spent the evening talking and joking with Jess in (and about) a room full of intoxicated former colleagues. The following Tuesday, we went on a real date together, and from there everything flew into place. Evan cleared the test of meeting Luna, Jessica's very judgmental and distrusting bulldog, and that's when Jess was sold. Within a few months, the two got another dog, Zara, together, and Evan began staying over to help through the early stages of house breaking a puppy. The more time they spent together, the more inseparable they became and the more clear it became that this was something greater than either had experienced before. On September 28, 2019 Evan played a little "hide and seek" game with Jess, the ring was hiding and Jess was suppose to find it. After a few small hints and almost an hour later, Evan proposed. Now, Evan and Jess look forward to celebrating their big day at Liberty Mountain Resort with family, and friends and are extremely excited for the memories to be made during the joining of our lives and families.
