Jordan and Emma were introduced by their mutual friend, Sarah. Sarah had been telling Emma for years that she and Jordan would hit it off someday, but the timing was never quite right while Emma was in a relationship. Fast forward to Sarah’s birthday celebration at Woodlawn Beach — Emma was newly single and finally excited to meet the guy Sarah had been talking about all this time. What Emma didn’t know was that Jordan was recovering from a very fun night at the Queen of Heaven Beer Tent, and between the summer heat and a brutal hangover, he only managed to say one word to her all day: “Hey.” Emma had hoped Jordan would ask for her number, but when he didn’t, she took matters into her own hands and asked Sarah for his instead. The two started talking soon after, which led to a wonderful first date where they bonded over the equally terrible meals they had both ordered — and the rest is history.
