Jonathan and Rebecca met freshman year of college at the University of Alabama in 2017 when they matched on the popular dating site, Tinder. With the school year coming to an end, Jonathan moving back to Florida for his sophomore year, and Rebecca sick with strep throat, they were not able to meet in person. However, in the age of social media and technology, they stayed in touch for the next year through Snapchat, Instagram, and Facetime. When Jonathan returned to Alabama in the Spring of 2018 to see friends, they were able to meet in person for the first time! Their year long friendship allowed for an instant connection, with each being sad to leave the other when Jonathan's visit came to an end. After meeting in person, the two of them knew they wanted to give dating and the relationship a shot. The next time they would see each other would be for Fourth of July, when Jonathan would fly up to Connecticut to meet Rebecca's family for the first time. The trip solidified the relationship. With Jonathan heading back to Alabama for the fall semester, everything fell into place. The two would spend the next two years of college together; making memories that would last a life time. In 2020 they both graduated and moved to Florida. Rebecca studied for her master's degree in Gainesville, and Jonathan worked full time in Palm Beach Gardens. After a year of long distance, they moved to Jupiter, Florida together in 2021 and got their beloved fur baby Daisy! In the summer of 2023, back in Connecticut again for the Fourth of July, Jonathan proposed in the most special way possible; at Southford Falls, where the two went the first time Jonathan came to visit those five summers ago. Of course Rebecca said: YES! The two of them are beyond happy to be starting their lives together and to celebrate their love and marriage with you.
