Justin and Jessica met through a friend. Their friend Travis thought they'd hit it off. Justin wrote a "Happy Friday" message on Instagram. After a couple weeks of texting each other they finally decided to have their first date on September 25th, 2022 at the Skyline Kitchen. Neither of them had high hopes of the date panning out from previous dating experiences. But they hit it off from the start. After shutting down the restaurant, both wanted to know when the next time they could see each other. They planned the next date before the first one was over.
