We met during our senior year at Purdue and instantly became friends. After graduation we lived in separate states until January of 2025 when Jess moved back to Indy. We reconnected and went on our first date at a restaurant in downtown Carmel. We were the last ones to leave the restaurant and when it was time for the evening to end, we sat in the car together for 3 hours to make it last as long as possible. We have been inseparable ever since and quickly knew where this was headed. Nine months later, we got engaged and could not be more excited to spend the rest of our lives together!
