JJ and Raven initially met through mutual friends in 2011. JJ was infatuated, Raven was less than interested. Over the years JJ moved to Arizona, twice, and Raven finished nursing school at UW Madison and pursued her career in pediatric nursing. Over the course of 7 years, JJ was persistent in his quest to take Raven on a date. Eventually in March of 2018, Raven agreed to give JJ that long awaited first date. It only took Raven three dates to fall head over heels in love....and the rest is history.
